This Monday (3) in your ANBA Bulletin: Diplomat Osmar Chohfi, president of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), wrote an article on the 71 years of the institution. The ABCC celebrated its birthday last Sunday, July 2, and is going through a moment of change, advancing digitization, halal and startup incentive programs. Religious date Eid Al-Adha, the Feast of sacrifice, was celebrated in Arab countries. It’s an important time for Muslims, with holidays, collective prayers in mosques, fun and celebrations with friends. And the Brazilian federal government established the Flex License to fast-track the issuance of trade permits in the country.

| |
 |
In 2017, Xingu Fruit, a company based in the Amazonian city of Castanhal, Pará, started buying açaí from cooperatives and riverside associations and processing the fruit into products to sell in Brazil and abroad. The first export took place within the first year after the foundation and went to the United States. Now selling to almost all Brazilian states, the brand exports several products to 16 nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Ecuador, and Chile.
