According to a report issued by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, the United Arab Emirates is at the forefront of the Arab countries importing Brazilian products with about 37,800 tons. That is equivalent to a growth of 11 percent, while Saudi Arabia came in third place, importing 37,200 tons, an increase of 52.7 percent.

Commenting on the results of the report, President of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, Osmar Chohfi, stressed that “These results reinforce Brazil's efforts to maintain the volume of its monthly exports above 400,000 tons until the end of this year. These indicators reflect the growing demand for Brazilian goods and products, especially the Arab countries, as one of the main trading partners of Brazil globally, consolidating the strength of trade relations between the countries of the region and Brazil.” Chohfi pointed out that "in the context of efforts to encourage import and export movement and activities, the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce has taken the initiative to support efforts to establish direct logistical paths between Brazil and the Arab countries, as well as resuming discussions of the free trade agreement after the pandemic."

According to the Chamber’s report, Brazilian poultry meat exports to Arab countries recorded 2.828 million tons, with an increase of 6 percent during the first seven months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, while revenues reached $5.260 billion, achieving a growth of 33% during the mentioned period.
