Palestinian companies are showcasing dates and date-based products at the Anuga Select Brazil fair, which started on Tuesday (8) in São Paulo. They are also offering olive oils and pistachio-filled chocolate in bid to begin selling them to Brazil.

Brazilian brands are standing out worldwide and are beginning to gain popularity among consumers in Arab countries. Saudi Arabia is already the fifth-largest destination for Brazilian chocolate exports, and other markets in the region, such as the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, also have fans of national chocolate.

The limited-edition chocolate is for sale at Mission Chocolate’s online store. The brand’s founder, Arcelia Gallardo, launched a camel milk chocolate as part of its project to honor the communities composing Brazil’s ethnicity, starting with the Arabs.

A project from the Brazilian Confectionery Industry Association (Abicab) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) is offering a year’s worth of one-on-one support to 20 enterprises starting out with foreign sales or would-be exporters. Registration opens on April 8.
