Free trade Africa
This Monday (7) in your ANBA Bulletin: Business prospects with Africa after the continent’s free trade agreement came into force about a year ago. Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia are Arab countries in Africa participating in the agreement.
Arab countries could fulfill part of the supply gap in the Brazilian fertilizer market. Brazil is expected to cancel shipments from Russia, and authorities are looking for new potential suppliers.
A short documentary film from Santa Catarina was awarded at a film festival in Algeria. ‘Hinges of Paint’ [‘Gonzos de Tinta’] portrayed an artistic residency in Joinville and was produced by a group of university students.
São Paulo’s Immigration Museum will host an event on March 26 and 27 to celebrate the National Day of the Arab Community in Brazil. Short films and plays will make part of the program. The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce is a partner of the initiative.
This Tuesday, March 8, Brazilian business people will be able to participate in a seminar on trade advantages in the United Arab Emirates. The event is hosted by the Arab Brazilian Chamber and Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD). Registration is open.

The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) entered into force on January 1, 2021, signed by almost all countries except for Eritrea. The AfCFTA promises to be a unique opportunity for the regional development of the African continent, with the potential to promote the growth of its nations, economic relations with each other and other regions, and the reduction of poverty. However, it comes when Africa and the world are recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and amid a conflict in Europe with possible consequences on all other continents.
