S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC) is hosting the webinar \u201cMorocco and Brazil: Agribusiness Connecting Continents,\u201d on Wednesday (9) featuring specialists from both countries. Registration is open<\/a>, free of charge, and simultaneous translation into Portuguese and English will be available.<\/p>\n

Brazil has intensified agricultural exports to Morocco, including maize, sugar, soy and coffee. Year-to-date through July, USD 319 million worth products were sold to the Arab country, up 34.6% from a year ago. Brazil is also importing more from the Arab country, including fertilizers, phosphate (pictured above<\/em>), ammonia and sardine. Year-to-date through July, Brazil imported USD 589.8 million worth in products from Morocco, up 20.8% year on year.<\/p>\n

According to ABCC secretary-general Tamer Mansour, the growth is a result of a governmental relation effort between the two countries. \u201cI believe governmental relations are improving, and I see a great opportunity to sign cooperation and investment agreements, and even a Mercosur-Morocco agreement in the near future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The webinar will be focused on the agricultural market, since it was the one that saw the highest growth over the last months, but will also delve into logistics, investments and other topics. Therefore, the event is open to all sectors interested in doing business with morocco.<\/p>\n

The opening session will feature Brazil\u2019s ambassador to Rabat, Julio Bitelli; Morocco\u2019s ambassador to Bras\u00edlia, Nabil Adghoghi, and ABCC president Rubens Hannun.<\/p>\n

The lecture \u201cStrategic and complementary markets in the agribusiness chain: Innovation, expertise exchange, and trade diversification\u201d will feature five panelists. Researcher, manager and international coordinator at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), Alexandre Morais do Amaral, will discuss Brazilian agriculture and opportunities of partnerships in innovation and technology. Brazil\u2019s agricultural attach\u00e9 in Morocco, Nilson C\u00e9sar Castanheira Guimar\u00e3es, will talk about strengthening and reinforcing economic complementariness between the countries.<\/p>\n

Representing OCP in Brazil, Morocco\u2019s largest fertilizer manufacturer, head Olavio Takenaka talks about Brazil as a strategic market.
