S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Foreign retailers who were in Brazil via Halal do Brasil’s Buyer Project visited food processing plants in Goi\u00e1s, Paran\u00e1 and Minas Gerais from Thursday (8) through Friday (9) to get to know the country\u2019s production processes. The technical visits were some of a series of appointments. \u201cThey were interested, so I believe the long-term chance of [sales] results is really big,\u201d said the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC) international projects manager Fernanda Dantas on Monday (12) following the week of meetings and negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Halal do Brasil<\/a> project is spearheaded by the ABCC and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) to promote made-in-Brazil halal goods in Muslim-majority countries. Halal means fit for Muslim consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last week, eight representatives from firms based in Muslim-majority countries were in Brazil by the invitation of the Buyer Project. From Monday (5) through Wednesday (7), they participated in B2B meetings with Brazilian companies in the headquarters of the ABCC in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also watched seminars on the female presence in business and the food production and export potential of Brazilian states before traveling for technical visits in manufacturing plants. The Buyer Project brought in retailers, trading firms, and distributors from Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegation was divided in three groups for the state visits. One went to Goi\u00e1s, where they visited Porto Seco de An\u00e1polis\u2019s Caf\u00e9 Rancheiro (of coffee and cookies), Piracanjuba (of dairy products), and Imperador Alimentos (of palm hearts, olives, olive oils, and canned food). Another group went to Minas Gerais, where they visited halal-certified honey manufacturer Essenciale, Mais Yogo, a manufacturer of a\u00e7a\u00ed and frozen yogurt, and biscuit manufacturer Nazinha Alimentos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paran\u00e1, a halal beef restaurant experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The visitation schedule in Paran\u00e1 was hindered by rough weather. So, before going to the state, the delegation visited the International Poultry Show in S\u00e3o Paulo. On Friday (9), in Paran\u00e1, the visitors went to the biscuit and pasta manufacturer Ninfa Alimentos. Following the technical visits, on Saturday (10) all groups were reunited in the Paran\u00e1 city of Foz do Igua\u00e7u, which is home to a large Muslim and Arab community. There they were received by local officials in a mosque, where a cocktail party was held. In Foz do Igua\u00e7u, they were welcomed in a halal restaurant that specializes in beef cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a very fruitful week that showed the Brazilian potential beyond the food and beverage industry. [The Buyer Project guests] felt welcomed,\u201d said Dantas. \u201cIt\u2019s important to develop a complete itinerary including visits to manufacturers for them to feel out production. This rapprochement helps to build trust, as they wanted to know more about the firms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
