Antonio Sarkis Quotations

For us this is very good news. The Brazilian market opens up one more opportunity for Arab exporters, especially in North Africa.

Brazil is paying greater attention to the Arabs in terms of import.

Algeria has a five-year plan for investment of over US$ 50 billion in infrastructure projects like highways, airports and houses.

In the trip we recently made to Tunisia we identified five complementary economic sectors in both countries.

The increase in trade with the Arab countries has been surpassing the increase in trade between Brazil and the rest of the world.

Agribusiness is still the main sector in exports to the Arab countries, but it is already possible to see that other products, especially manufactured goods, have conquered space in this market. Proof of this is that exports in general have increased a lot, in spite of agribusiness remaining stable.

The main products in the basket are still sugar, meats, ore, manufactured products, vehicles and agricultural machinery.
