In a bid to promote trade and tourism, the ambassador of the African Arab country to Brazil, Farida Jaïdi, visited the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex) in São Paulo.
As a result, a trade delegation of importers, exporter and other interested parties will visit in early 2007 North Africa including Morocco, one of the main Brazilian trade partners in the Arab world and at least two other countries.
The aim of the delegation is to take to the Arab country representatives of various sectors that are in development, among them textile and leather industries and the service sectors.
The mission will also take export companies and trading companies that may also trade mainly in handicraft.
As of now, Brazilian exports to the country generated US $282.3 million between January and August this year, and imports reached $206.4 million mark.
The main industries in the country are mining, food - with strong participation of the fishery sector - and textile, according to sources.
