Egyptians sell citrus in Brazil

Agreen and Orange were some of the Egyptian exhibiting companies at trade show Fruit Attraction that took place in S?o Paulo earlier this week. The former already caters to Brazil and wants to boost business, while the latter participated in the show to start exploring the country’s market.

S?o Paulo – Egyptian companies are interested in Brazil’s citrus market. A group of companies from the Arab country exhibited at Fruit Attraction, one of the world’s leading fruit and vegetable trade shows that had its first edition in S?o Paulo earlier this week, from April 16 to 18.

Two of the Egyptian companies participating was Agreen – Green Egypt Co. for Agricultural Investment, which already caters to the Brazilian market, and Orange Co. for Agricultural Crops, which exhibited with an eye on starting selling to the Latin American country.

Agreen Export Manager Mohamed Tahon said the company is the biggest grower and exporter of citrus in Egypt and the Middle East. “We export to more than 55 countries,” he told ANBA. Brazil is one of the buyers. “Last year we exported 100 containers to Brazil’s market,” said Tahon.

Agreen participated in Fruit Attraction to meet its Brazilian clients and strengthen its relationship with them. “And to meet new clients, too,” said Tahon. The manger said they met about 40 clients during the show, 23 of them new.

The company didn’t made any deals during the show but expects some sales to take place as a result of meetings in the event. “The Brazilian market is very interesting for us because it’s a big market and they like our Egyptian citrus, said Tahon.
