The Mixed Agricultural Cooperative of Alta Paulista (Camap) and the trading company Francfort are currently showcasing their products at Gulfood, the largest food and beverage fair in the Middle East. Their presence is facilitated by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, and they aim to finalize peanut sales contracts during the event.


At Gulfood, they plan to sell a substantial portion of the ongoing peanut harvest. Leonardo expressed optimism about establishing new contacts, reinforcing existing relationships, and securing sales during the fair. While no deals were closed on the first day, Leonardo is confident that, similar to previous years, purchases typically occur towards the end of the event.


Brazil is projected to produce 927 thousand tons of peanuts in the 2023/2024 harvest, reflecting a 3.8% increase from the previous harvest. The National Supply Company (Conab) provided this data, highlighting that São Paulo, with 210 thousand hectares, hosts a significant portion of the 254 thousand hectares devoted to peanut cultivation in the country.


Camap predominantly exports peanuts to Arab countries such as Algeria, the Emirates, and Egypt, along with Turkey and Russia. The cooperative's collaboration with Francfort has spanned two years, with the latter responsible for facilitating the entry of Brazilian peanuts into foreign markets.


Apart from Camap and Francfort, ten other companies are participating in Gulfood through the Arab Chamber's space. Additionally, Brazil is represented in individual stands and pavilions organized by other associations. The Arab Brazilian Chamber, in conjunction with the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), is actively promoting halal foods through the Brazil Halal Project at Gulfood.
