Brazilian companies join Egypt trade fair

São Paulo – Africa’s largest food fair, Food Africa 2025, will feature eight Brazilian companies through the Halal do Brasil project, spearheaded by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promtotion Agency (ApexBrasil) to promote Brazilian halal products abroad.

Participating companies are trading firms BRA Commodities, Aurora Internacional, Stefenoni Interagrícola, Coperaguas, and Neoking Foods, as well as grain producer NG Trade, cashew-based food producer Usibras, and peanut cooperative Camap. In addition to the fair, Aurora and BRA Commodities will join ABCC’s trade mission to Cairo from December 7 to 9. Also participating in the mission are trading companies Timbro, APS, and Aurea Internacional, along with customs law firm Manuel & Vitta and consultancy Prime Company.

The mission aims to expand Brazilian companies’ access to the Egyptian market. According to Fernanda Baltazar, Director of Institutional Relations at the ABCC, it is a large consumer market with opportunities for Brazil due to Egypt’s free trade agreement with Mercosur. “We’re organizing a mission to Algeria and also invited business leaders to this trip to Egypt because it’s a market worth exploring. These are markets that offer opportunities for Brazil to diversify [its exports],” she said.
