Investments and the establishment of companies between countries are signs of a trustful relationship. That is what the former Costa Rican minister of Foreign Affairs, Manuel Gonzalez, said during a virtual roundtable on business between the United Arab Emirates and Latin America this Wednesday (9). “It was not easy to open the doors at first, but I see that the relationship between the UAE and Latin America is improving; the UAE’s minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is doing a great job,” said Gonzalez.

Falafel was the first product ever developed by Brazil-based food tech Amazonika Mundi. At the time, the company was still called Sottile Alimentos and was searching for some connection with the Amazon. What the founders already knew was that the company was to be plant-based. “We were already fans of the Arab cuisine, and for the falafel we figured out how to maintain its originality but add something of Brazil to it. So, we brought lima beans to the recipe. We used to participate in many food shows back then, and in 2018 we went to Rock in Rio. Our falafel was a major hit,” said Thiago Rosolem, CEO and one of the founders of the company.
