São Paulo – The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (CCAB) stand at Transnational, a foreign trade fair, was visited by representatives from over 70 companies up to the end of Friday afternoon (20), when the event, which started on August 18, in São Paulo, finished.
The mission of businessmen and Algerian authorities arriving in São Paulo on Thursday (26), generated great interest in those visiting the CCAB stand. "When we mentioned the Algerian mission to Brazil, most of the businesses showed interest in enrolling," stated Andréa Monteiro, CCAB marketing manager.
The companies that visited the CCAB stand interested in export to the Arab countries, included the National Alcohol Company, which produces cleaning material, Pomagri, interested in selling fruit, Rebière, that makes gelatine, Europa, which produces water filters, Coperlab, a distributor of laboratory equipment, and Botto Auto Gen, in the auto parts industry. BID, which produces peanut sweets, also wanted to learn about the Arab market.
According to Odair Busoli Filho, Transnational director, the fair ended with a positive balance. According to him, many companies that are just beginning in the foreign trade sector visited the event to collect information from the 80 exhibitors present.
The visitor movement on the first day of the fair was 40% greater than that registered on the first day last year. On the second day, there was a 30% increase. "We had a very positive result," stated Busoli.
At the closing of the event, there was a roundtable with eight businessmen. The mediator was journalist Miriam Leitão, and the topics discussed were infrastructure and logistics in Brazil.
