Kory Melby's Brazilian Ag Consulting Services

UPDATED: 13 JULY 19

Kory Melby

Welcome to my website, which is now sixteen years old.

Eighteen years ago when I first started my Brazil research and adventure I was looking for someone like myself to help me understand the dynamics of the Brazil market place better. With much assistance from Brazilian and American friends, this site continues to evolve and grow.

My VIP Consulting Services and Ag Investment Tours are for those wanting to understand Brazil's Ag sectors while meeting specific business objectives of international professionals. I have led investment and agricultural groups from the USA, Canada, UK, Africa and China to see first hand Brazilian Agriculture (Argentina as well).

Drop me a note if you have any questions.
