Taubat\u00e9 \u2013 Saudi Arabia\u2019s Unaizah Chamber of Commerce and Industry representatives and date product manufacturers in Taubat\u00e9, Brazil, discussed on Monday (7) the expansion of trade and production of processed date products through partnerships in the sector. Members of the Unaizah Chamber are participating this week in the Anuga Select Brazil food and beverage fair, at a stand organized by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC<\/a>). The institution also organized the visit to the production facilities in the S\u00e3o Paulo state.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sierra (L), Giovanelli, Alsaikhan, Latif, Al-Keraida, and Al Jowhar: Discussions to establish partnership<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The CEO of Nature Food Tech, a company with a product line made from dates, Davi Sierra, welcomed the Saudi executives at the headquarters of Yog Sorvetes. Later, he accompanied them to date bar manufacturer Mrs. Taste. There, the businessmen were received by Mrs. Taste\u2019s CEO, Laert Giovanelli. Both companies, Mrs. Taste and Yog Sorvetes, manufacture products created by Nature Food Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, the Saudis told Sierra that they could be suppliers of high-quality dates, as Unaizah, located in the Al Qassim province north of Riyadh, has the ideal climate and soil conditions for date palms to produce the fruit. Among these conditions are local temperatures of 50\u00b0C in the summer, which are perfect for the ripening of dates. From there, they export to various countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president of the Unaizah Chamber of Commerce, Khaled Mohammad Alsaikhan, said the purpose of his visit to the factories is to do more business in Brazil. \u201cOur goal is to expand the export of dates to a new market, which is Brazil, and also attract investors to the Saudi market, thus creating investments on both sides,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vice president of the Unaizah Chamber of Commerce and general manager of Alkeraida Dates, Abdulrahman Mohammed Al-Keraida, suggested selling dates and date pastes from Unaizah to Brazilian entrepreneurs, as well as supporting them in exporting processed products to the Arab country, with the opportunity to reach more markets in Asia. \u201cBrazil is very important for trade exchange with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and our goal is for Brazil to become a hub for distribution in Latin America,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among its products, Nature Food Tech has created and markets date bars with collagen, which promise benefits for the skin, as well as creatine, to improve physical performance, and a\u00e7a\u00ed with date pieces, among other products. \u201cThe date is a superfood, and the Brazilian market has great potential for growth,\u201d said Sierra. He added the company is preparing to launch more date-based products on the market. Alsaikhan noted that Sierra\u2019s product line has the potential to succeed beyond Brazil. \u201cWe\u2019re used to eating dates in their natural form, but the new generation doesn\u2019t want that anymore. Therefore, processed dates have a strong appeal with this audience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit also included Unaizah Chamber of Commerce Secretary-General Ryiadh Abdulrahman Al Jowhar, Presidency Secretary Fahad Ali Alruqayi, and Vice President Assistant Mohammed Abdullah Alkurayda, as well as ABCC Institutional Relations Advisor Bassel Abou Latif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
