The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) has organized a three-day-long business mission for the business delegation of representatives from eleven companies in Brazil in the Emirate of Dubai.

The diverse team of Brazilian companies with previous exporting experience to the Arab nations, and the companies seeking opportunities for the first time, learned about the regions’ business trends and discovered opportunities that are in synergy with their products and services.
