S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Latin American fruit market, particularly Brazil\u2019s, has attracted companies from Egypt and Morocco to the industry fair Fruit Attraction<\/a>. The event is being held at the S\u00e3o Paulo Expo & Convention Center in S\u00e3o Paulo from this Tuesday (24) through next Thursday (26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egypt organized its own pavilion with 15 booths. One of the participants is Palm Egypt\u2019s general manager, Maamoun Mansour. In its first participation at the event, Palm Egypt came to showcase the company\u2019s fruits, including its flagship product: dates. Based in Menoufia, north of Cairo, the company oversees its entire production process, from cultivation to shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n

El Maghraby: Company is keeping an eye on opportunities to meet Brazilian consumers\u2019 demand for fruit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m in S\u00e3o Paulo for the first time. We see Brazil as the largest business environment in Latin America. I came to explore cooperation opportunities, especially in the dates market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palm Egypt exports 800 metric tons per year to destinations such as Turkey, Kazakhstan, Russia, Germany, Spain, France, and Canada. \u201cGlobal consumption of dates is diversifying and growing, and we see Brazil as a very promising market,\u201d Mansour told ANBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Moughrabi\u2019s general manager, Ahmed El Maghraby, said the Egyptian company is participating in the fair for the second time. The first was in 2025. The company already exports to Brazil, with shipments doubling each year, but volumes are still small compared to those sent to Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to expand our market in Latin America, especially in Brazil,\u201d he said, noting that the country still has a \u201cniche\u201d level of consumption. Events like the fair, however, are opportunities to find more potential buyers for its oranges, tangerines, and lemons, El Maghraby said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sanchez sees strong potential to expand tangerine exports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Citrus fruits are also the focus of Egypt\u2019s Daltex. Regional commercial manager Randa El Gabry said the company attended Fruit Attraction in its first edition, in 2024, and began exhibiting the following year. It has already closed deals in Brazil and has clients across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrazil is a large market for citrus, especially due to last year\u2019s issues. We want to supply the domestic market during the off-season: when the harvest ends here, it begins in Egypt, and we can export here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Gabry and El Maghrabi cited the decline in Brazilian production as an opportunity to meet local demand. In recent years, citrus crops in Brazil have been affected by the pest known as greening. Alongside dry weather and other diseases, it has led to lower productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Moroccan company Zalar Farms, Commercial and Logistics Director Imane Rincon Sanchez came to Brazil to seek more clients for the tangerines the company began selling to the country last year. In Brazil, she said, the fruit is still seen as a premium product. \u201cThe Brazilian market has enormous potential,\u201d she said. The company exports to Brazil, on average, one container per week between mid-January and mid-April\u2014the harvest period in Morocco\u2014but the executive believes it is possible to increase this to five containers per week between January and April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Maghraby said the conflict in the Middle East has not yet affected routes from North Africa to Brazil, but it is reflected in higher insurance costs charged by shipping companies and in a shortage of containers, as many of these units are stuck in Middle Eastern ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
