This Monday (8) in your ANBA Bulletin: The Brazilian business mission to Qatar. Representatives of nine companies carried out a schedule of visits, meetings, and seminars in the country last week, organized by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce. They learned about market practices, competition, the reputation of Brazilian products and met with local players.
Prices of shoes exported by Brazil to the Arab countries have decreased. From January to September this year, Brazilian footwear industries sold shoes to the region at lower prices. Due to the dollar's appreciation against the Brazilian currency, the real, they could reduce prices without losing profitability.

Arab countries import footwear from Brazil at lower prices
| |
 |
The Arab countries imported 2.1 million pairs of Brazilian footwear year to date through September for USD 15 million, up 8.6% in volume and down 8% in revenue from a year ago, Brazilian Footwear Association (Abicalçados) said. This gap is due to the change in the average price of Brazilian footwear imported by the Arab countries, which dropped by 15% from USD 8.30 to USD 7.10 a pair. A highlight are the flip-flops, which account for 33% of total exports. The United Arab Emirates currently account for 2.5% of Brazilian footwear exports (in pairs) in the region.

| |
 |
Brazilian products, especially food, are well-known in Qatar, and there is more space for them in the Arab country. But local market players do not just want to buy from Brazil but establish long-term partnerships with regional headquarters in their country and import products from Qatar.
