Abstract

In Brazil, the first movement on behalf of business sectors happened during the government of Dom Pedro I and was intermediated by his mistress, Domitila de Castro, who later became the Marquise of Santos. This study aims at analyzing how interest groups performed in the negotiation and implementation of More Food Program in African countries. For this purpose, interviews, field research in eleven Mozambican municipalities and telegrams exchanged between Brazilian and African countries were rescued and analyzed under a fresh look. It was possible to identify the role of three interest
groups in the negotiation and commercial rapprochement between Brazil and Mozambique - the Brazilian government itself, recipient countries in Africa and the private sector.
