Despite occurring at the same time of Sial Middle East<\/a>, which takes place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the show\u2019s turnover was great, said Arab Chamber events coordinator T\u00e2mara Machado, who\u2019s in Cairo. \u201cThe show is packed. Only today we met over seventy great connections as well as potential members. Many are interested in the Arab Chamber services and participating in Brazilian trade shows such as Apas<\/a> and Anufood<\/a>,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the two companies participating in the stand are also happy, Machado said. \u201cThe Arab Chamber participation in the show is very important, Egypt is an extremely important market for Brazil and the demand for Brazilian products is super high,\u201d said the coordinator.<\/p>\n

Egypt is the third largest Arab importer of products from Brazil, mostly foodstuffs, only behind Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Year-to-date through November, Egypt purchased USD 1.73 billion in products from Brazil, remaining the most important African country for Brazilian exports. In the food and beverage industry, the North Africa bought USD 2.8 billion from Brazil year-to-date, mainly driven by Egypt at USD 1.265 billion.<\/p>\n
