Brazilian beef sales to all Arab countries were up 47.62%.<\/p>\n<p>The UAE imported 51,000 tons of beef from Brazil in H1, up from 9,400 tons in H1 2018. The UAE were the fourth biggest importer of Brazilian beef; Egypt was the third biggest. Arab countries took in a combined 19.53% of total beef exports from Brazil, up from 15.88% in H1 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened was <a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/beef-exports-from-brazil-a-world-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">that since last year<\/a>, those countries became more interested in Brazilian beef, mostly due to competitiveness-related factors. The UAE are becoming a bigger buyer, in line with what the Brazilian industry had been expecting,\u201d University of S\u00e3o Paulo Center for Advanced Studies on Applied Economics (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cepea.esalq.usp.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cepea-USP<\/a>) livestock researcher Thiago Bernardino de Carvalho told ANBA.<\/p>\n<p>Besides low production costs, which translate into competitiveness for Brazil\u2019s industry, Carvalho points out that Brazilian animals are unique. \u201cWe have lean meat in Brazil. Contrary to popular belief about barbecue meat being \u2018heavier,\u2019 Nelore and Zebu beef, which are widespread in Brazil, are very well-liked in those countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>And the question of halal beef, whose consumption is permitted to Muslims, is another driver of demand from Arab countries. \u201cWe are able to export halal slaughter meat, and this is conducive to selling to Arab countries because of their standards. Poultry paves the way for beef. As income goes up, countries will stop buying cheaper meat and migrate to meats such as beef,\u201d said Carvalho regarding how poultry sales from Brazil to Arab countries are now being followed by exports of other products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total exports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall beef exports from Brazil climbed 25.5% to 827,000 tons in H1 2019, with revenue going up 16.2% to USD 3.12 billion as per Brazilian Beef Exporters Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abiec.com.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abiec<\/a>) numbers.
