An event was held in the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) for representatives of Brazilian banks to spread knowledge on the Arab financial landscape.

Cassava, manioc, yuca. Regardless of the name, this has for a long time been the research focus of professor Nagib Nassar, an Egyptian-born botanist, geneticist and post-graduate who came to Brazil to research the tuber back in 1974 and stayed here since. The scientist works on improving cassava to produce larger tubers and increase the protein content of its flour — all for the sake of eradicating hunger and malnutrition in Brazil and African countries that produce the Brazilian-origin root.
