We turn complexity into strategy, risk into security and opportunity into results. Business platforms in Brazil, Asia, Europe and the USA.
Akon International is a Brazilian company specialized in international trade, with over 23 years of experience delivering complete import and export solutions. With a global footprint, we operate business platforms in Brazil, Asia, Europe and the United States.
We deliver much more than operations: technical knowledge, market intelligence and full support at every stage — from feasibility studies and international sourcing to logistics and operational execution. Our goal is to make our clients more competitive by reducing risk, cost and time.
Expanding into the international market is a big step. Many companies see the opportunity but run into bureaucracy, operational risks, difficult supplier negotiations and unpredictable costs.
Without the right structure and knowledge, a competitive advantage turns into a headache: delays, unexpected costs, documentation errors and decisions made in uncertainty.
That is why we exist: so your company doesn't just operate in the international market, but grows with it in a structured, predictable and highly competitive way.
Access to better costs, wider product variety and innovation — increasing margins and competitiveness.
Open doors to new markets, strengthen your brand and significantly expand revenue potential.
Strategy, predictability and control at every stage — from origin to destination.
Tailored solutions based on each client's moment, goals and level of international maturity. More than executing processes, we develop custom projects.
Identification and approval of overseas suppliers, focused on cost, quality and reliability.
Complete study of costs, taxation and pricing, validating the competitiveness of the operation before any decision is made.
End-to-end coordination of the operation, from negotiation to cargo clearance, with technical and operational follow-up.
Structuring and executing international sales, ensuring compliance, logistics efficiency and access to new markets.
A program that prepares companies to export, focused on strategy, positioning and international business development.
Organization and support at global events, connecting our clients to the best business opportunities abroad.
Akon International is led by Lígia Blanco and Roberta Raposo, entrepreneurs with a solid track record in foreign trade. Over the years, they have built hands-on experience in the international market, running real operations and delivering concrete results.
More than management, they are directly involved in operations, ensuring proximity, agility and sound decisions in every project — with a clear purpose: making foreign trade more accessible, safe and profitable for Brazilian companies.

Hands-on experience that translates into safer, more efficient and more profitable operations for our clients.
The client purchased a product with no domestic equivalent, at high cost and low competitiveness.
Development of an international supplier and complete structuring of the import operation.
Cost reduced from R$ 11.61/kg to R$ 10.50/kg — savings of R$ 1.18 per kilo across the operation.
A 9.6% reduction in cost per kilo which, applied to the operation's 100 tons, generated over R$ 110 thousand in direct gains in a single process — a result that repeats with every shipment.
Many of our partners have been with us for years, growing together with us.
Yes. Foreign trade is not just for big companies: small and medium businesses can access the global market with the right strategy and support. Our solutions are sized to each client's moment and scale.
It depends on the product, origin, taxation and logistics. That's why we run a Feasibility Analysis before any operation: a complete study of costs and pricing that shows, in numbers, whether the import pays off — before you invest.
It varies by country of origin, transport mode (sea or air) and product type. As a reference, a sea shipment from Asia usually takes 60 to 90 days from purchase to arrival in Brazil. You receive the full operation timeline during planning.
No. Akon works as your company's foreign trade department: we handle negotiation, documentation, logistics and customs clearance — at up to 50% less than building an in-house team.
We have business platforms in Brazil, Asia, Europe and the United States, plus a network of certified agents on every continent. We have operated in more than 20 countries.
