Gulfood, a fair in the food sector, ended in the emirate on Thursday. Brazilians praised the event. The fruit sector closed with US$ 8.5 million in business. Samples were donated to charity.

Economising energy and water, as well as job generation, should guide business in the region in coming years, according to Edmond O’Sullivan, the chairman at MEED, a media and market research company.

After a ‘boom’ last decade, Brazilian sector sales dropped and many companies abandoned the foreign market. A project plans to return to business and five Arab nations are targeted.

This statement was made by the Minister of Trade of the Emirates, Lubna Al Qasimi, in the first day of the Gulfood, a fair in the sector in Dubai. The heated market seeks more suppliers, like Ecuador.

At the food sector fair in Dubai, the companies in the Apex mission to the Middle East plan to close deals with businessmen participating in the roundtables in Jeddah and the Emirates.

Businessmen from Dubai are interested in expanding purchases from Brazil, but competition is strong and the value of products is essential. ‘The Brazil cost is heavy’, says an executive.
