It will address the rise of halal in industries such as fashion, tourism, food and cosmetics. Registration is available at http:\/\/bit.ly\/2FFItY0 until January 19.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers covering different sectors will include International Halal Accreditation Forum (IHAF) secretary-general Mohammed Badri; Dubai Exports deputy CEO Mohammed Al Kamali; conselheiro da Autoridade da Zona Franca do Aeroporto de Dubai (Dafza), Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA) senior advisor Abdur Rahim Ghulam Nabi; and DIEDC head of Strategy and Planning Saeed Kharbash Al Marri.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They will go over what Islamic economy and expanded halal are about. It&rsquo;s more than just food products, it&rsquo;s a lifestyle,&rdquo; Arab Chamber president Rubens Hannun told executives from Chamber member companies on Tuesday (16). &ldquo;Although Brazil is the biggest halal protein exporter in the world, it taps into only 20% of this market,&rdquo; added the Chamber&rsquo;s special projects advisor Tamer Mansour.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mansour, the Islamic market comprehends much more than just Arab countries, and halal culture is not limited to meat products. It includes consumption-based industries such as tourism, fashion, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. He believes the DIEDC&rsquo;s initiative is important for Brazilian businesses interested in exploring those markets. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The Islamic market is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world. Business owners are advised to learn about it and to consider adapting their products towards it,&rdquo; said Mansour. DIEDC numbers show the Islamic market comprises 1.8 billion people and that it is largely underexplored, with a vast investment potential for Western businesses.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information, send an email to the Arab Brazilian Chamber&rsquo;s commercial department: members@ccab.org.br.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*In collaboration with Alexandre Rocha.
