José Marcos Sarabia is a prime example of the way in which the country of Paraguay opens its arms to foreigners who come here to invest, develop and grow, particularly those from neighbouring countries like Brazil.  Marcos is a Brazilian entrepreneur who had a vision for innovation and development within the agribusiness sector.  Decades ago, he settled here, betting firmly on agricultural growth, and has contributed very effectively to the development of what is called “agribusiness”.  His personal story mirrors, in many respects, the history of the agricultural sector over the last few decades, during which Paraguay has become one of the most important food producers in the world.  This history has been assembled by a great many brave and hard-working dreamers, like Marcos.Coming from humble but hardworking origins, today the companies in the Sarabia Group are among the largest contributors to Paraguayan taxation, generating not only wealth but also, and even more importantly, job opportunities for hundreds of Paraguayans. Marcos’ commitment to innovation and excellence in the area of agriculture explains his story of a successful life.  Furthermore, Marcos has always been committed to social responsibility, with initiatives in support of vulnerable sectors together with environmental sustainability.
