This article investigates how medium-sized Halal food companies in Brazil operate in their export marketing strategies. A qualitative research study was conducted with an exploratory approach, based on in-depth interviews with six experts. The main results show that Brazil can invest more in strengthening its country brand by influencing actions that occur after export, so that the end customer has contact with the country brand and its recognition, thereby strengthening the relationship between producer and consumer and possibly increasing loyalty. Going beyond exports, the country could add greater value to its products to improve cost flexibility.References
