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 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.

Orange: First event in BrazilOrange still doesn't export to Brazil and joined the show to break into the market. The company sells fruits like grapes, pomegranates, oranges, mandarins and lemons, and vegetables like onions to various markets across the world.“We want to sale mandarins and oranges to Brazil, particularly São Paulo,” managing director Ammar Salam told ANBA.
The participation in Fruit Attraction was the kickoff of the company's relationship with Brazil. Salam says that the company chose the show as it had previously participated in its installment in Madri, Spain, and it already knew how the Brazilian market worked.“We want to penetrate the Brazilian market, and this was an opportunity to explore it,” said Salam. The director says the fair brought results and some sales.“Brazil's is a promising market,” he says.
