# Doing Business in Latin America (LATAM)
Published by [Source Intelligence](https://blog.sourceintelligence.com/author/source-intelligence) on August 21, 2025 at 2:07 PM
## What global teams miss about sourcing compliance, traceability, and market entry
For companies pursuing growth in Latin America, success requires tackling both the vast sourcing opportunities and the region’s regulatory challenges. Success in LATAM depends not only on sourcing vital raw materials such as lithium, copper, and key agricultural commodities but also on understanding regional regulations, cultural dynamics, and the compliance frameworks that shape market entry.
In our recent webinar, Doing Business in Latin America (LATAM), Source Intelligence experts and regional legal specialists shared insights into how companies can successfully source, comply, and compete in one of the world’s most resource-rich and dynamic regions.
