This Tuesday (21) in your ANBA Bulletin: The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) and Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce will hold on the 29th “Food and Beverage Exports to the Gulf Countries” seminar in São Paulo. The event is recommended for companies that will participate in the Gulfood fair to take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from February 16-20, as well as other companies interested in selling to that region. Over 100 exhibitors in Brazil are expected to participate in this year’s show, according to Arab Chamber secretary-general Tamer Mansour. “For us, Gulfood is the icing on the cake in the Middle East,” he said. The organization will have its own pavilion with eight member companies. Check out the details in the story by Bruna Garcia.
And the Arab Chamber returns to the International Fair of Khartoum, Sudan after a one-year hiatus. The organization has a stand at the show in partnership with Brazil’s embassy in the Sudanese capital and the halal certification company of the Federation of Muslim Associations in Brazil (Fambras Halal). “Our goal is resuming the participation, as Sudan is a very important, strategic country,” said Arab Chamber institutional relations manager Fernanda Baltazar, who’s in the African country. The multisectoral event runs through January 27.

The work she created will be exhibited at the Reviving Humanity Memorial, an installation built in Sinai. The initiative featured 45 artists from different countries and Dotto was the only Brazilian. “Each sculptor makes a heart from their own idea. I decided to bring some of my own work from organic shapes, female elements, and nature,” she said.
