ABCC stand at APAS exhibition in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Some 26 firms from the Arab World showcased their products at Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) stands at the APAS exhibition, the largest food, beverage and supermarket trade show in Latin America.

The four-day event was held last month, at São Paulo in Brazil after remaining suspended for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. ABCC has participated in the APAS show since 2016.

The Arab companies which participated in the event include one from Lebanon, two from Tunisia, two from the UAE, eight from Jordan, and 13 from Egypt. They showcased products like spices, teas, dates, Arab pastries, dried fruits, raw fruits, peppers, dried tomatoes, olive oil, olives, coffee, frozen fruits and vegetables, canned food, and cosmetics.

Osmar Chohfi, President, ABCC, said: “This is for the first time that we had this number of stands at APAS following higher demand for space due to the willingness shown by many Arab companies to participate in the event. This has resulted in the increase in the number of visitors to our stands, resulting in more business as compared to the last edition of the event held in 2019. ”

The event brought together over 800 national and international exhibitors across a 75,000 sq m area. In addition to the exhibition, the event featured over 70 lectures with experts in innovation, technology,  productivity, industry trends, and political and economic outlook.
