The food and beverage trade fair featured exhibitors from at least six Arab countries, some of them in pavilions organized by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber. Beni Piatetzky, general director of Koelnmesse Brazil, believes there is room to increase the region’s participation.

The exhibition kicked off on Tuesday (8), showcasing the strength of Brazil’s food industry and the country’s growth plan as a supplier of processed goods, not just commodities. Arabs from countries like Palestine and Saudi Arabia are exhibiting in sectors where Brazil is not self-sufficient: dates and olive oils.

The Jordan Food Expo will take place from February 24 to 28 in Amman. The event is the industry’s largest in the country and hosts up to 30,000 attendees.

In August, buyers from Muslim-majority countries and representatives from Brazilian food and beverage companies will have a weekend of meetings and technical visits to plants to explore the Latin American giant’s halal production.
