S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Arab companies exhibiting at supermarket fair APAS Show 2025<\/a> in S\u00e3o Paulo are finding a favorable market due to Brazil\u2019s exemption of import taxes on olive oil, one of the main products they are showcasing at the event. The show began on Monday (12) at Expo Center Norte, featuring 15 Arab companies from the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, and Egypt in booths organized by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n

ABCC President William Adib Dib Jr. says APAS Show is the main gateway for Arab products into Brazil and believes the fair has potential to feature an even greater Arab representation in terms of the number and diversity of countries, companies, and products. \u201cWe\u2019re in a good moment\u2014olive oil is doing well and has greater appeal this year\u2014but there\u2019s room for much more,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secretary-general & international relations vice president of the ABCC, Mohamad Mourad, shares a similar view. \u201cWe have a privileged space, with good companies and quality products, and I believe that with the tariff exemptions\u2014even if temporary\u2014on a product that Arab countries export to Brazil, olive oil, we have a good chance of increasing our business volume at the fair this year,\u201d he said. Mourad is also optimistic about the increased activity observed on the first day of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n

Another ABCC leader present at APAS Show on its opening day, treasurer Mohamad Abdouni Neto sees the fair as an opportunity for Arab companies to be directly in contact with Brazilian buyers. He says that success at the fair largely depends on the quality and competitiveness of the products, and he wishes Arab companies well. \u201cI wish success to our Arab friends who are here,\u201d said the treasurer, adding that the presence of Arab companies at the fair is very important to open the eyes of the Brazilian market to the region\u2019s products.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Younes:
Younes: it is important for Arabs to come to Brazil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A member of the ABCC\u2019s Board, Riad Younes emphasizes the importance of fostering trade between Brazil and Arab countries in both directions. \u201cOur role is doing precisely that, to help both sides understand each other, with Brazilians going to Arab countries and Arabs coming here,\u201d he says. Speaking at the fair, he highlights the importance of Arabs understanding Brazil\u2019s capacity and product diversity. \u201cWe have a huge market with various levels of consumption, including high-quality consumption that could be interested in Arab products,\u201d he says, reminding that Brazil is a friendly country to Arabs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Another member of the ABCC\u2019s Board present on the first day of APAS Show, William Atui, says Brazil has a great potential for consuming Arab products and that their sales in the country are much lower than they could be. He highlights, for example, the quality of production and products from Tunisia. At the fair, he spoke with representatives from the Arab country about the possibility of assessing the obstacles preventing these sales from growing and working on addressing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABCC is hosting the Arab presence in two areas at APAS Show, at booths 331 and 187, respectively in the White and Blue pavilions. The fair runs until next Thursday (15), with around 900 exhibitors from 22 countries and an expected generation of BRL 16.5 billion [USD 2.9 billion] in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
