Among the international attendees, importers from at least four Arab countries\u2014Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Libya\u2014are expected, according to the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abical\u00e7ados), which is holding the event in partnership with N\u00fcrnbergMesse Brasil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palath Veettil Muhammed Saheer will attend BFSHOW representing Jamjoom Fashion from the UAE. He told Abical\u00e7ados that he sees the fair as an opportunity to expand the range of Brazilian products in his more than 60 stores. \u201cCurrently, we import about USD 200,000 annually, with around 6% coming from Brazil. We want to increase the share of Brazilian footwear imported into our stores,\u201d he says. According to Saheer, Brazilian products are well appreciated in the local market, especially for their unique design and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saheer is among the importers participating in the exhibition as invited guests, along with other representatives from the four Arab countries mentioned above. BFSHOW will host 175 foreign buyers this way, in an initiative organized by the fair\u2019s management and Brazilian Footwear, an export support program by Abical\u00e7ados and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Including domestic buyers, a total of 681 were invited to the fair. They were selected based on recommendations from the exhibitors. However, most BFSHOW visitors attend independently. \u201cThe majority of national retailers and importers come on their own, attracted by the largest selection of footwear in Latin America all in one place,\u201d Let\u00edcia Sperb Masselli, relationship and business manager at Abical\u00e7ados, was quoted as saying in material released by the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fair, now in its fourth edition, will feature 353 Brazilian brands as exhibitors and is considered the largest in the Latin American footwear sector. This year, it has grown by 30% in space, reaching over 32,000 square meters at the Anhembi Convention Center, according to the organizers. BFSHOW runs until Wednesday (21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quick facts<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>4\u00aa BFSHOW<br>May 19 to 21, 2025<br>AT Distrito Anhembi \u2013 Av.
