São Paulo – The final lecture on the second day of the 2025 Global Halal Brazil Business Forum, presented by Luc Vian, Market Intelligence Manager at the Brazilian beef industry group ABIEC, shared positive data on Brazil’s halal beef exports.
“In the research I brought to you, I would like to highlight the value of halal exports in 2024. Compared to 2023, there was a 65% jump—that is, over 500,000 additional metric tons of Brazilian halal beef were exported. If we look at the last chart, the 2025 volume, even with only nine months of data, is already higher than that recorded in 2023. We have great confidence in this market for the long term,” said Luc Vian.
At the end of the presentation, the ABIEC executive presented two copies of the Brazilian Beef Cuts Book to Mohamad Abdouni Neto, Treasurer of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), and Mohamed Hussein El Zoghbi, President of FAMBRAS Halal Certifier. The ABIEC publication covers the history of halal certification in Brazil and provides insights into the national halal market.
The forum is organized by the ABCC and FAMBRAS Halal Certifier. GHB sponsors include MBRF (Marfrig – BRF), MODON (Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones), Seara, CaraPreta Carnes Nobres, EcoHalal, Emirates, Grupo MHE9, Laila Travel, Prime Company, and SGS, with catering by Água Mineral Frescca and Pão & Arte Frozen Bread.
Strategic partners include the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Development (ICCD) and Islamic Chamber Halal Services (ICHS). There is also institutional support from ABIEC, Brazilian Beef, Brazil’s chicken and pork lobby ABPA, Brazilian Chicken, International Halal Academy, and the Union of Arab Chambers (UAC).
