S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Algiers International Fair ended on Sunday (23). Brazilian delegates were there, at a stand organized by the\u00a0Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong><\/a> and the Embassy of Brazil in Algeria\u2019s capital. \u201cThis is the 52nd<\/sup> edition of the fair, which affords much visibility to participating countries. Brazil is one of a select few countries that have joined this edition,\u201d Brazil\u2019s ambassador to Algiers Fl\u00e1vio Marega (pictured, R<\/em>) told ANBA via audio message.<\/p>\n

He thanked the Arab Chamber for its support in organizing the stand. \u201cAlgeria is Brazil\u2019s second-biggest trading partner in the Middle East and North Africa, so this presence is very important, not only when it comes to following through with ongoing deals in the country, but also when it comes to finding new importers of Brazilian goods,\u201d the diplomat argued.<\/p>\n

Algeria is the second-biggest Arab supplier to Brazil, trailing Saudi Arabia. Year-to-date through May 2019 saw USD 758 million worth of goods imported to Brazil from Algeria, up 12% from a year ago, according to Arab Chamber data. The top-selling products are oil and fertilizers.<\/p>\n

Conversely, Algeria is the fourth biggest Arab export destination for Brazilian goods, with sales amounting to USD 473 million year-to-date through May, up 9.4%. The best-selling goods here are sugar, soya oil, maize, iron ore and beef.<\/p>\n

The ambassador noted that agribusiness plays a very big role in Brazil-Algeria bilateral trade, although he said industrial players should also join events like the Algiers Fair. As a case in point, he mentioned Santa Catarina, Brazil-based electric engine maker WEG, which does business in Algeria and showcased its products at the event.<\/p>\n

On the last day of the Fair, the Brazilian stand was visited by Ethiopia\u2019s ambassador to Algiers, Amin Abdulkadir (pictured, C<\/em>), and by a delegation of coffee growers from that country.<\/p>\n

Arab Chamber Institutional Relations manager Fernanda Baltazar (pictured, L<\/em>) said the Ethiopians were seeking out information on the Brazilian coffee industry, as well as to discuss the prospects of engaging in technical cooperation with Brazil. They were also exhibiting their products at the Fair.<\/p>\n

Brazilian business owner Nadia Abdallah<\/a>,\u00a0who was at the event representing coffee company Ortelan Caf\u00e9, of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Brazil, discussed the Brazilian industry with the Ethiopians.<\/p>\n
