Last year, the company produced and exported 2,000 tons.

You will also discover that Saudi Arabia discontinued poultry imports from five plants in Brazil. Out of the 30 industrial plants that supply the Arab country, 25 remain authorized to export. The suspended units account for 30% of the traded volume. The decision was allegedly based on technical reasons. Saudi market is the largest buyer of Brazilian poultry.

The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce president Rubens Hannun suggested the Saudi measure may be reversed in the future. “The suspension can be reversed, it’s part of the process, it’s nothing unusual or definitive,” he stated. The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) president Francisco Turra thinks the same. “It is very hard to deliver a prognosis, but it is possible that within 30 days [the authorization] may resume,” he stated.

You will also discover that Brazilian-based prosthetic solutions and surgical instruments company Neodent will host an event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to showcase their products to the Arab market. NeoEvent is occurring in February 4, one day before the Dental Conference Exhibition Hands on Workshop, also to be held in the UAE. “We will be in Dubai on February 4 to take the opportunity offered by the Dental Conference Exhibition Hands on Workshop (AEEDC-Dubai), which opens the following day (5) and will welcome thousands of professionals from around the world,” said the Neodent science chair and founder Geninho Thomé.
