In the local market, Brazilian merchants occupy a certain advantage by virtue of their in-depth understanding of local consumption habits and mature sales networks, and continue to launch products with appearance designs and functional optimizations that conform to local aesthetics.

Through these platforms, high-quality foreign barbecue carts can directly reach Brazilian consumers, attracting a large number of customers with innovative designs and high cost performance. Some characteristic barbecue carts launched by domestic manufacturers, due to their compact and practical design and affordable prices, are deeply popular in the Brazilian market and have received a large number of orders on cross-border e-commerce platforms.
