S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Brazilian office of the RCMA Group, commodities and supply chain management trading<\/a> that buys and sells sugar in S\u00e3o Paulo will be at the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/a><\/strong> stand at Gulfood<\/a>, largest food and beverage fair in the Middle East, to occur from February 17 to 21 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have many businesses with Africa and the Middle East and we have already visited Gulfood for the last years, and for this year we decided to participate in the Arab Brazilian Chamber stand to maintain contacts and prospect for new clients,\u201d said RCMA director in Brazil, Felipe Ferraz, in interview to ANBA.<\/p>\n

According to Ferraz, the office in S\u00e3o Paulo was opened in 2016, but the company had already been dealing sugar in Brazil since 2012. Across the world, the group also works with other commodities such as cotton, coffee and energy, and does the rapeseed crushing, which originates canola oil.<\/p>\n

Based in Singapore, the company was founded in 2009 by four British partners gathering trading companies of rubber and other commodities that had been active for approximately 200 years. In addition to Brazil and Singapore, the company has offices in countries such as the United Kingdom, Colombia, Guatemala, Netherlands, South Africa and Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a global trading company that works to manage a logistic chain from the purchase until the arrival at the final consumer, and we focus on the excellence of this chain. We are present in all relevant origins and operate in and distribute for more than 50 countries, as well as being close to shipowners, which guarantee us a great freight charge,\u201d said Ferraz.<\/p>\n

Among the more than fifty active destinations of the group Brazilian operation, thirteen are Arabs. From North Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Djibouti, Mauritania, Egypt, and Somalia; and in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Lebanon, Oman, and Palestine.<\/p>\n

According to the director, RCMA Group have already worked with virtually all Arab countries, except for the Comoro Islands. That means, Syria, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Sudan and Tunisia. \u201cThe operation is seasonal, depending on the crops and local conditions,\u201d he informed.<\/p>\n

Last year, RCMA Brasil bought 150,000 tons from Dubai refinery Al Khaleej for USD 60 million. Ferraz stated the trading company buys refined sugar from Brazil, India, Ukraine and Thailand, among other producing countries, and what sets it apart from others is that it sells the bagged sugar in 25 and 50 K bags inside containers, distributing it around the world for wholesalers that sell directly to the final consumer.<\/p>\n

Most of the exported volume from Brazil, according to the director, goes through the Port of Santos, but the group also operates through the ports of Itaja\u00ed, Paranagu\u00e1 (picture above)<\/em>, Vit\u00f3ria, Salvador and Suape.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur global volume is 600,000 tons per year, considering the average between 2017 and 2018, which equals to 23,000 containers,\u201d said Ferraz. Only in Brazil, the director said that, according to the same average, 250,000 tons, or 10,000 containers, are traded in the commodity purchases and sales.<\/p>\n
