"We did a research of all the Brazilian companies that are going to participate in the project and the market that attracted the greatest interest was the Middle Eastern. Most of the companies stated their interest in selling to the Arab countries," he said.<\/P> \u201cWe want at least one quarter of the foreign buyers to be from the Middle East. The Arabs have a great potential in the sector," added Molon.
