Food firm opened plant in Egypt to cater to Brazil

São Paulo – Present in the Brazilian market since 2021, Delta Brothers, an Egyptian company that sells frozen fruits and vegetables, is participating in the APAS Show for the third time to reconnect with old customers and strengthen its brand in the country. Founded over two decades ago, it caters to Brazilians interested in frozen strawberries and fries.

“The Brazilian demand has grown so much that this year we had to open another factory in Egypt to meet all the orders. After Europe and Russia, Brazil is the destination where we sell the most,” says Delta Brothers managing partner Mostafa Salah.

“Just to give an idea of this growth and the importance of the Brazilian market for Delta, nearly a third, a quarter of our entire strawberry production is sold here.”

Regarding frozen vegetables, Brazil has also shown interest in the company’s products from Egypt, but according to Salah, this market is still developing more slowly.

“We face some difficulties because the Brazil actually meets its own domestic product needs. Additionally, frozen vegetables sold in small packaging by European companies, our competition, make it a bit harder for us to enter,” says Salah.
