Pankaj Sajnani, manager of consumer goods purchases at retailer chain Choithrams<\/a>, told ANBA his company seeks industrialized goods, particularly snacks, pasta, and frozen goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBrazil has competitive quality and prices, but our concern is the really large distance to Dubai,” said Sajnani. He said the company plans on importing small amounts and expanding orders as business thrive. Air import is ruled out, says Sajnani, for cost reasons. Furthermore, he pointed out that halal certification is essential, as documents are submitted to authorities in Dubai, and this is also a requirement from consumers. Choithrams has 54 stores in Dubai, plus shops and distribution centers in Qatar, and product distribution in Oman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harvest International Trading<\/a> food service manager Mohammed Amzal said the company already imports whole chickens, processed chicken meat, and chicken breasts from Brazil. Now at the Buyer Project, it seeks other products like honey and coffee. \u201cIf we obtain some coffee samples, we could taste them, and if they are good, we could buy. The origin doesn\u2019t matter as much as good price and quality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The headquarters of the company is in Doha, Qatar, where Harverst operates in retail with both proprietary and outsourced brands in various package sizes and formats. The company, says Amzal, imports an average of 20 containers of chicken breasts and 30 of processed chicken meat a year.<\/p>\n\n\n ABCC president Osmar Chohfi said the Buyer Project is an opportunity to bring Arab companies closer for business. \u201cThe Halal project with ApexBrasil is strategic for the ABCC as it seeks to train exporters to the Arab and Muslim-majority world in meeting the halal specificities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chohfi pointed out that his is an opportunity for small- and medium-sized exporting enterprises to reach Muslim-majority markets. He added the Buyer Project is an opportunity for importers to see Brazil as a major supplier of halal goods, and for Brazilian companies to see in Muslim-majority countries a potential market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more: Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\nRetail in Muslim-majority countries want more<\/strong> foods from Brazil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
