S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian meat company Dom Glut\u00e3o will participate in the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce’s<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0stand in Gulfood, food and beverage fair in Dubai from February 17 to 21. In an interview to ANBA, exports manager Yohana Spena said the Middle East region is the company\u2019s current priority.<\/p>\n

Dom Glut\u00e3o works from the cattle raising to the slaughter, deboning, and shipping with their own brand, as reported Spena. \u201cWe have the license for the halal slaughter, and among the Arab countries, we work with Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Palestine \u2013 our three main markets in the Middle East \u2013 in addition to Qatar, Libya and Iraq,\u201d says the manager.<\/p>\n

Currently the company sells to 20 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Dom Glut\u00e3o is a family company founded 50 years ago and started exporting in 2014. The operation in the Arab world started two years. Yohana Spena said that 50% of the total exported by Dom Glut\u00e3o goes to Hong Kong, but this percentage has been falling.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, we worked only with Hong Kong, our only client; from 2014 until now we\u2019ve started investing in other international markets and are trying to obtain a constant growth in the Middle East, our main goal,\u201d she explained. According to her, China has been suffering local economic problems that are affecting the sales to Hong Kong, so the company eventually switched the focus to the Arabs.<\/p>\n

Dom Glut\u00e3o already participated in Gulfood in 2017 at the Arab Brazilian Chamber stand, and in 2018 at the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) pavilion, both with excellent results, according to Spena.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked with the Middle East for more than 10 years, it is an excellent market, and now Dom Glut\u00e3o is trying to win this market,\u201d said Spena. The manager said she’s attended Gulfood since 2008 and it is a very important fair in the animal protein segment. \u201cThe intention behind participating in Gulfood in 2017 was to get to know the market because, back then, the company didn\u2019t know the logistics and food security requirements in the Arab countries; in 2018, however, it was the time to implement the cooled products, which are a necessity for the Arab market, the clients were demanding them,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

About the participation in this 2019 edition, Spena said Dom Glut\u00e3o is always looking for new clients and opportunities, but is focusing in retaining their customers, which are trading companies and regional distributors. \u201cWe are applying for ministerial approval to open exports to Egypt and Saudi Arabia,\u201d says Spena. Approval must come from the ministries of agriculture in both Arab countries and from the Brazilian ministry. \u201cSince I have clients in [the Egyptian and Saudi] markets, Gulfood is always a good opportunity to attract new markets, and I also receive my Hong Kong clients there,\u201d she told.<\/p>\n

According to Spena, the total exported by the company in 2016 was an average of five to six containers per month; in 2017, the volume climbed to 30 containers per month. \u201cIn 2018, we managed to maintain this volume, which is a victory since it was a very difficult year for us. Nobody was buying, the market retracted, so simply maintaining the previous volume was to be celebrated,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n
