S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Following an event on Tuesday (6) when the idea of an investment fund<\/a> to generate income for Lebanon was launched, ambassador Carla Jazzar, charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires of the Embassy of Lebanon in Bras\u00edlia, visited the headquarter of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC) in S\u00e3o Paulo on Wednesday (7) with the commercial consul of Lebanon in S\u00e3o Paulo, Rudy El Azzi, to coordinate the next steps to help the Arab country get back on its feet and increase its sales to Brazil. The diplomats were welcomed by ABCC president Osmar Chohfi, secretary-general Tamer Mansour, Cultural director Silvia Antibas, and International Relations vice president Mohamad Mourad.

Jazzar: We want to boost fruit and vegetable sales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carla Jazzar said that Lebanon wants to increase sales of fruits and vegetables and needs more technology to expand its food trade capacity. Antibas mentioned that Lebanon already has a good image in Brazil when it comes to cuisine, and this could be worked on for it to get a foodhold in the market.<\/p>\n

Mansour suggested bringing together Lebanese associations of wine and olive oil, the most well-known products among Brazilian consumers, and working together to implement a Lebanese trademark. \u201cThe most important product in Brazilian exports is beef, and the Brazilian beef brand was very worked on for the Brazilian beef to have the image it has now across the Arab countries and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next steps: Committee, webinar, visits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other ideas suggested included promoting a visit of Brazilian health authorities to Lebanese olive oil farms and wineries, hosting road shows and dinners with Lebanese chef and products in the cities of S\u00e3o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Bras\u00edlia in the near future.<\/p>\n

It was also agreed to create a joint agenda in order to host a webinar later this year to show Lebanese companies how to expand business.<\/p>\n

The ABCC representative in the committee created to address the investment fund for Lebanon will be Mohamad Mourad. The first meeting is expected to take place later this month. \u201cThe idea is establishing the committee and deciding how to proceed next. It\u2019s supposed to be a joint effort,\u201d Jazzar said. \u201cWe have to see what can be implemented, as some ideas are good in theory, but don\u2019t work out in real life. What Lebanon needs the most now is money \u2013 it needs to sell goods, and we must see what we could buy,\u201d Mourad said. He said that the main asset between Lebanon and Brazil is trade. \u201cWe\u2019re 100% committed to helping Lebanon,\u201d Chohfi said.<\/p>\n
