São Paulo – The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) participated in this year’s edition of the Show Rural Coopavel. In a panel, the ABCC’s Institutional Relations analyst Elaine Prates pointed out the Arabs see opportunities in Brazil to acquire technological expertise. “Innovative solutions for agribusiness, such as irrigation systems and seed improvement, for instance, are likely to attract the interest of Arab institutions for implementing them in countries like Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt,” she said.
The executive explained that the geographic conditions in the aforementioned allow this transfer of technology and knowledge from Brazil, as well as the internationalization of AgTechs operating in these segments, which have great potential in Arab markets. The panel took place on Thursday (9).
