S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Industrialized foods such<\/strong> as honey<\/strong>, jellies<\/strong>, jams<\/strong>, and sweets<\/strong> could have a growing demand in Egypt<\/strong> at a rate of 12% a year until 2026, according to Jo\u00e3o Ulisses Rabelo Pimenta, Market Analysis coordinator of the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). \u201cI would highlight the consumption of honey in this market,\u201d added Pimenta at the online event \u201cBrazil-Egypt Relations: Opportunities for processed foods in the Egyptian market\u201d this Tuesday (13).<\/p>\n

Pimenta\u2019s information confirmed what was said by Osmar Chohfi, president of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), who opened the event and drew attention to the products most demanded by the Egyptians. \u201cData reveals the top five foodstuffs most consumed by the Egyptian population were sweets and snacks (USD 38.62 billion), bread and cereals (USD 33.47 billion), animal proteins (USD 26.79 billion), dairy and eggs (USD 23.61 billion), and vegetables (USD 20.89 billion). Therefore, there are opportunities to be taken advantage of by Brazilian exporters,\u201d highlighted Chohfi.<\/p>\n

Another product on the ApexBrasil opportunities map was fruit juice<\/strong>. \u201cNon-alcoholic beverages<\/strong> are a highlight in the Arab market as a whole. And they could grow internally in retail,\u201d said Pimenta.<\/p>\n

In addition to the coordinator, executives such as Tamer Mansour, secretary-general & CEO of ABCC, also participated, moderating the roundtable \u2018Doing Business with Egypt \u2013 Opportunities for the Brazilian food and beverage sector.\u2019 \u201cI believe Egypt can indeed be a reexport hub for ABIA\u2019s products to Africa, and why not, to the European region, since Egypt has a lot of trade agreements,\u201d said Mansour.<\/p>\n

For Luiz Tavares, coordinator of ABIA\u2019s Foreign Trade Working Group and International Relations executive of BRF, Brazil\u2019s participation in events in Egypt, such as COP 27, could be crucial to discuss sustainability issues and improvements in sustainable food production. \u201cWe are increasingly prepared to serve the Egyptian market and all those who want to consume high-quality food from a sustainable source. We, like ABIA, remain ready to collaborate with the Egyptian authorities and Brazilian companies,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

Marcella Chompr\u00e9, supervisor of Commercial Execution at Cargill<\/strong>, spoke about the company\u2019s steps to enter Egypt with processed products. \u201cEgypt is one of the 125 countries where we have clients. We operate with grains and commodities, and we are starting foodstuffs exports. This product will be focused on pectin, which is used in confectionery as a thickener and emulsifier, precisely one of the products Egyptians consume the most,\u201d explained the executive, stressing among the company\u2019s challenges are documentation and adapting to local regulations.<\/p>\n

Nashwa spoke about the Mercosur agreement<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jo\u00e3o Dornellas, executive president of ABIA, stressed the importance of the Egyptian market, mainly due to the prospect of economic growth in the North African Arab nation. \u201cEgypt, for us, is a great partner. It is one of the world\u2019s leading economies<\/strong>. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), projections were at 5.9% for 2022 and 4.8% for 2023, well above the growth projected for the global economies,\u201d he said, regarding the prospects of a higher Egyptian Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n

Also at the event, Nashwa Bakr, Egypt\u2019s commercial consul to S\u00e3o Paulo, recalled the impact of the free trade agreement between the Arab country and Mercosur. \u201cEspecially with Brazil, our \u2018premium\u2019 partner,\u201d she pointed out. The webinar was organized by the ABCC and ABIA. The event also featured a regulatory and business environment panel, bringing together other industry executives.<\/p>\n
