S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazil\u2019s agricultural machinery manufacturer Grupo Jacto<\/a>\u00a0has been shipping product to the Arab countries for at least 25 years now. During this time, the destination countries changed and the brand\u2019s market share went up. Right now, there are Jacto product distributors in nine Arab countries.<\/p>\n

Countries like Algeria and Tunisia, which used to import items from Jacto in 2005, no longer do. They have been replaced by the likes of Sudan and Jordan. Jacto distributors are also in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, the UAE and Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Based in Pomp\u00e9ia, S\u00e3o Paulo, Jacto has divisions including e M\u00e1quinas Agr\u00edcolas Jacto, for large-sized products, and Jacto Port\u00e1teis, for portables. The bulk of sales in Arab countries consist of portable handheld battery-powered sprayers whose affordability appeals to cooperatives and to smallholder and medium-sized farmers.<\/p>\n

Jacto portables sell in 100 different countries, with exports accounting for 70% of sales. \u201cWe make them, but we don\u2019t sell direct to end buyers; that\u2019s why we have distributors in Arab countries. In some cases, demand is going up, so there\u2019s more than one distributor,\u201d Jacto Portable Equipment Unit commercial manager Andr\u00e9 Ribeiro de Farias told ANBA.<\/p>\n

Much of Jacto\u2019s exports ship to Latin America. The Middle East, Africa and Asia take in a combined 15% of foreign sales. \u201cThere\u2019s a demand for innovative products in the Middle East, and our foothold there is growing bigger,\u201d explained Farias, who sees the region as an important market.<\/p>\n

In order to meet the demand from places like the Middle East, the company invests in technology. An addition to the portables portfolio this year is a battery-powered backpack sprayer which connects to smartphones via Bluetooth technology. Users control the equipment using an app designed by Jacto. So far, the equipment is only available in Brazil, but it\u2019s expected to ship abroad as of next year. \u201cOur buyers are very professional, so they require pro-level product. We are going to want to sell wherever we can, and soon,\u201d Farias concluded.<\/p>\n
