According to the organizers, over 200 foreign buyers will attend through Couromoda Exporter program, an initiative that offers services to selected foreign businesspeople. The attending countries include some of the world\u2019s largest importers such as the United States, Brazil\u2019s biggest foreign market.<\/p>\n<p>The organizers told ANBA that they expect Arab importers to visit the show independently, as usual. \u201cIt\u2019s a great number of guests and a good sign. It\u2019s worthy pointing out that most of foreign buyers come on their own, without our program\u2019s help. So, the total number of importers will surpass 1,200,\u201d Couromoda general director Jeferson Santos was quoted as saying in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the event received eight Arab buyers and 10 in 2018.
