S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce Institutional Relations director Fernanda Baltazar is currently in Azerbaijan publicizing the experiences of Brazilian companies active in the halal goods market. The term halal designates products compliant with the guidelines of Islam. Fernanda delivered lectures during the Azerbaijan Halal Business Forum, in the national capital Baku, on Tuesday (8) and Wednesday (9). The event is hosted by the Azerbaijan Small and Medium Business Development Agency (KOBIA<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baltazar travelled as a result of an invitation extended to the Arab Chamber by the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Bras\u00edlia. The latter country is hosting the United Nations Climate Conference (COP29) next month. Next year\u2019s edition is set to take place in Bel\u00e9m, in Brazil\u2019s Par\u00e1 state, and last year\u2019s edition took place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The three countries have come together in a troika to foster international cooperation in a bid to ensure that global warming is limited to 1.5\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability was a key subject in the forum, which delved into halal not just as a sector of trade, but as an ecosystem, a lifestyle that also relates to sustainability. Baltazar said Azerbaijan is building a hub for halal companies looking to do business in the country and the region. \u201cThis is a really interesting halal market. It\u2019s a major importer of meats, yet domestic production volume is small. Consumption is high around here,\u201d the Arab Chamber director told ANBA. Azerbaijan is a Muslim-majority country with a population of 10.1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arab Chamber was invited to sit in a panel on small and medium businesses. During the panel, Baltazar presented Halal do Brasil, a partnership project between the Arab Chamber and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) to promote Brazilian-made halal goods around the world. The project includes skill development for businesses, trade promotion, and image-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halal opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was exactly what I conveyed: first and foremost, I discussed Brazil, the Brazilian context as it relates to the halal market because despite not being a Muslim market, we do have [halal]. Brazil has all this expertise, particularly in the protein sector, and it\u2019s one of the biggest exporters. I also discussed existing opportunities for the Brazilian market and how, through this Arab Chamber project alongside ApexBrasil, we have been working on these three fronts, trade promotion, business skill development, and image-building,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to joining the forum, the executive convened with KOBIA professionals to discuss potential joint projects and cooperation work. She also met with Dubai Chamber delegates in Baku, where the organization has an office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
