S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Visitors at the International Fair of Khartoum have shown interest in opportunities in Brazil at the stand of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/a><\/strong>, the country\u2019s embassy in Sudan and Fambras Halal \u2013 the halal certification body of the Federation of Muslim Associations of Brazil. Main interests have been food and agricultural machinery industry. The show started on the 20th<\/sup> and runs until the 27th<\/sup>. The Arab Chamber\u2019s stand (pictured above<\/em>) has received around 40 people a day, reported Institutional Relations manager Fernanda Baltazar, who\u2019s attending the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople coming to our stand are more curious, asking about Brazil and the Brazilian market, than interested in actually doing business. In 2018 (the last time the Arab Chamber was at the show), there were more businesspeople, while this year has seen a very large number of visitors, but they are mostly curious because of the situation the country finds itself now. Within the current context, it\u2019s important that the Arab Chamber is here, as Sudan has always been a partner country. With the dollar hike, the decrease in the purchasing power, and alternation in power, the businesspeople are reconsidering some points,\u201d Baltazar told ANBA by phone.<\/p>\n

In parallel to the event, Baltazar attended meetings with the Sudanese Businessmen and Employers Federation; with the undersecretary of the country\u2019s Ministry of Industry and trade, Mohamed Ali Abdalla; the president of agricultural machinery company CTC Group<\/a>; and National Investment Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the federation, we talked about the possibility of investment in infrastructure, buses \u2013 they mentioned Brazilian company Marcopolo<\/a> \u2013 overall public transport, and fuels and renewable energy. I talked to Unica<\/a> (Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association) and organizations such as Embrapa<\/a> (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) to develop potential partnerships and knowledge exchange, which are critical to Sudan\u2019s development,\u201d Baltazar said.<\/p>\n

The meeting at CTC Group, a Sudan-based agricultural machinery company that operates in Brazil, was with its president. \u201cWe visited the new factory and they\u2019ve stressed the importance of the Brazilian market and new partnerships,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Baltazar was welcomed at Sudan\u2019s National Investment Authority too. \u201cThey talked about the important moment Sudan has gone through, its government restructuration and the need to invest in different sectors such as infrastructure, agribusiness and energy. People here are optimist with the new government and expect a growth and development for all, a change for the better in the country, and Brazil could be an important partner,\u201d she reported. Fambras Halal president Mohamed El Zoghbi attended the meetings too.<\/p>\n

Baltazar invited authorities and businesspeople she met with to participate in Brazil-Arab Countries Economic Forum, an Arab Chamber event to run next April in S\u00e3o Paulo. \u201cI invited the Federation board members to the Forum. They are interested in participating and talked about a potential creation of a Brazil-Sudan business council from the event. CTC Industry vice-minister and chairman were also excited and showed interest in attending,\u201d the executive said.<\/p>\n

The executive said yet that Sudanese think highly of Brazil and sees a high business potential in the country. \u201cSudan is a country trying to move forward, develop, which is great,\u201d she finished.<\/p>\n
