S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Arab authorities unanimously recognized Brazil as a major producer and the largest global exporter of halal animal proteins. Still, they pointed to a potential yet to be explored in other categories. In in-person and video presentations, representatives of Arab embassies, the Islamic Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture (ICCIA), and an Emirati minister stated at the 2nd Global Halal Brazil Business Forum (GHB) in S\u00e3o Paulo that the political and economic relations between Brazil and the Arab countries allow for an expansion of this export basket in terms of volume and assortment of products. The GHB is held in partnership by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC) and certifier FAMBRAS Halal.<\/p>\n

Khalawi: Long way to go<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The secretary-general of the ICCIA, Yousef Hassan Khalawi, stated halal \u201cis one of the greatest bridges to obtaining mutual respect\u201d and that, as a halal producer, \u201cBrazil has managed to present one of the best success stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFifty years ago, no one imagined we were building the foundation of an industry now worth billions or trillions of dollars. And based on a detailed view of the world\u2019s halal potential, we still have not reached the desired level,\u201d said Khalawi. Among the existing opportunities in the halal industry, Khalawi mentioned the production and certification of dyes, preservatives, processed animal protein, and even medicines.<\/p>\n

The vice-dean of the Council of Arab Ambassadors in Brazil and ambassador of Morocco, Nabil Adghoghi (opening picture)<\/em>, said the relationship between Brazil and Arab countries \u201cgoes beyond\u201d commercial exchange and opens the path for mutual investments in different sectors, including halal. \u201cAnd to achieve this goal, greater participation from the private sector would be essential to strengthen trade promotion and joint investments,\u201d he stated, citing the need to reduce customs barriers and improve logistics integration. Adghoghi praised the role played by Brazil as president of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in seeking an end to hostilities in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

In a video sent especially to the GHB, the Minister of State for Foreign Trade of the United Arab Emirates, Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoud, said that his country reiterated its call for strengthening global cooperation in the halal industry in light of sustainable development goals (SDGs). \u201cWe are confident that the Global Halal Brazil Forum will make its contribution to bringing together viewpoints between partners and enhancing joint economic and investment policies to support the halal industry and strengthen its sustainable growth, thus stimulating more global investment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
