S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazil\u2019s Vice President & Minister of Development, Industry, Trade, and Services (MDIC), Geraldo Alckmin, currently acting president, spoke via video at the opening of the Global Halal Brazil Business Forum (GHB<\/a>) on Monday (27). He linked Brazil\u2019s commercial performance in the halal products market to the country\u2019s approach to cultures and religions. The GHB takes place Monday and Tuesday (28) at the WTC Events Center in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting president noted that Brazil is the world\u2019s largest producer of halal meat and expressed national pride in this achievement. \u201cBrazil positions itself as a leading supplier for a reason closely tied to our Brazilian way of being: here we value and respect all cultures and religions, learning from them, living in harmony, trading, and growing together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The halal market consists of products made according to Islamic rules and aimed at Muslim consumers. \u201cIt\u2019s an Islamic consumer market spanning over 60 countries, with 1.9 billion consumers and an estimated annual turnover of USD 3 trillion,\u201d he highlighted. \u201cI am confident that this important event will further enhance dialogue and cooperation among all participants,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his speech, the Vice President greeted William Adib Dib Junior, President of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce <\/strong>(ABCC<\/a>), and Mohamed Hussein El Zoghbi, President of FAMBRAS Halal Certifier. The trade institution and the halal certifier are the organizers of the GHB Forum. The event is held in person and can also be followed online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GHB sponsors include MBRF (Marfrig \u2013 BRF), MODON (Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones), Seara, CaraPreta Carnes Nobres, EcoHalal, Emirates, Grupo MHE9, Laila Travel, Prime Company, and SGS, with catering by \u00c1gua Mineral Frescca and P\u00e3o & Arte Frozen Bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
