A Georgia trade delegation, led by Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, is departing next week for Brazil to continue expanding business ties between South America’s largest country and Georgia 

The trip is a fact-finding mission focused gathering more information and courting business ties with Brazil’s ethanol industry during a week-long series of meetings scheduled in Sao Paolo, Brasilia and Mato Grasso.  

The latest delegation follows two Georgia missions in 2007 to Brazil focused on potential opportunities for the state in Brazil’s ethanol industry.
