Arabs can be an alternative to US tariffs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Chamber\u2019s executives said two products that have come under tariffs, coffee and frozen beef, could be exported to Arab countries. \u201cThe Arabs already import these products from Brazil, and they do so in volumes that are second to none in the world, so there is a potential to divert some of the exports from the United States to Arab countries,\u201d Mourad told ANBA. The ministry called upon the Arab Chamber to work with it on identifying potential markets for frozen fish and honey from Brazil, and especially from the state of Piau\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere is a potential to divert some of the exports from the United States to the Arab countries.<\/em><\/p>Mohamad Mourad<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt was agreed that a workgroup will be created by the Arab Chamber, the MAPA, the Dubai office of the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex), and agricultural attach\u00e9s in Brazil\u2019s embassies in Arab countries to look into harnessing opportunities in Arab markets resulting from the tariff situation. The Arab Chamber was also called upon to support an investment roadshow from Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Friday, Arab Chamber president William Adib Dib Junior, along with Baltazar and Mourad, handed over the report to MRE Department of Commercial Promotion, Investments and Agriculture director Alex Giacomelli during a meeting. They discussed what products could be worked on and how awareness of those products could be raised in Arab countries through tandem work by the Arab Chamber, the MRE, the MAPA, and ApexBrasil. The Chamber\u2019s executives told Giacomelli about the organization\u2019s upcoming events in Arab and Muslim countries as well as in Brazil this year.<\/p>\n\n\n

Padovani has drafted a bill to regulate the halal services and products trade in Brazil. The agenda for the meeting included the Global Halal Brazil Business Forum (GHB), which the Arab Chamber and Fambras Halal will host next October in S\u00e3o Paulo. The Chamber\u2019s executives also discussed the GHB at the MAPA and the MRE and invited officials to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arab trade in the context of United States tariffs was also discussed with Iwano, who called upon the Arab Chamber executives to have Arab businesspeople visit the state of Paran\u00e1, a strong agricultural state, during trips to Brazil. The report presented to authorities in Bras\u00edlia was created by the Arab Chamber Market Intelligence Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During their time in the federal capital, the Chamber\u2019s executives also had courtesy meetings with the ambassadors of Egypt, Mai Khalil, and Qatar, Ahmad Alshebani, with whom they discussed topics including the GHB forum.
