S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Recipes made with olive oils and dates, such as cakes, hummus, baba ghanoush, yogurt, and even ice creams, were part of the menu at the \u201cGastronomic Immersion: Flavors of Tunisia\u201d held on the morning of Friday (16) at the headquarters of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC<\/a>) in S\u00e3o Paulo.

Before tasting the recipes, the approximately 80 participants attended the closing of a week of activities, featuring speeches by the Tunisian ambassador in Bras\u00edlia, Nabil Lakhal, Cepex director Anis Basti, and the president of the ABCC, William Adib Dib Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakhal emphasized the importance of the Brazilian market for Tunisian products and the opportunities that have opened up for olive oil with the reduction of import taxes on the product this year by the Brazilian government. Basti highlighted the significance of olive oils and dates as the main export products of the North African country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunities with Tunisia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the event, Dib told ANBA that the participation of Arab companies in the ABCC\u2019s booths at APAS Show was \u201cvery significant\u201d and a success, and that there is still plenty of opportunities to be tapped by both buyers and sellers. Regarding the tasting event promoted by the institution, he said it was an opportunity to showcase Arab products to Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis meeting, where suppliers and buyers of such specific products come together at an important market moment with tariff reductions, crowns the success of this period of work that resulted in the fair and now in this business meeting,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are many other business opportunities. This connection is the starting point for future deals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Dib, the ABCC was represented at the event by its International Relations Vice President & Secretary-General Mohamad Mourad, Marketing Vice President Silvia Antibas, as well as former presidents and currently Board members Osmar Chohfi and Rubens Hannun (who\u2019s also honorary consul of Tunisia in S\u00e3o Paulo), and directors Alessandra Frisso, Renata Maron, and William Atui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
