This Thursday in your ANBA Bulletin: The Arab Chamber is having its 68th anniversary on July 2, 2020. To mark the date, it will put out the first-ever research exclusively on Arab immigrants and descendants in Brazil. The information will be released online on July 22. Further details will be out soon. And companies producing hand sanitizer no longer need special export licenses. This requirement is no longer valid since June 22. The same goes for disinfectants and laboratory items. The government also loosened its grip on exports of COVID-19-related items such as PPEs, mechanical ventilators, hospital beds and vital signs monitors. An ANBA special report shows that there is a strong worldwide demand for alfalfa and that the Arab countries are major buyers of the product. Brazil produces alfafla and has been inquired about shipping it to the Arabs but must increase output to sell it to go into the foreign market. And Brazilian and foreign specialists provided insights to companies on how to achieve global competitiveness. The issue was addressed in a webinar hosted by the Arab Chamber. Traceability was suggested as a tool to showcase product quality. |

São Paulo – Brazilian alfalfa holds great promise when it comes to increasing output for supplying the domestic market, and over the long haul it could even get shipped to major buyer countries, among them Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt. Considered the best forage plant for dairy cattle and horses, and used as feed for sheep, goats, rodents and even pets and humans, alfalfa is not widely grown in Brazil, with most of it coming from family farmers. However, there is a great interest in growing more of it.
