The evolution of Brazil-Egypt trade in recent years

From Egypt opening its market for Brazilian exports to the possibility of Egyptians selling to Brazil. The Brazilian agricultural attaché in Cairo, Cesar Teles, who is concluding his mission, and the new executive in the position, Rafael Mohana, told ANBA how trade has evolved and the prospects for the future.

In recent years, Egypt and Brazil have developed different trade possibilities in both directions. Among the factors that boosted the balance on both ends, one of the most symbolic was the free trade agreement between the Arab country and Mercosur.

In 2018, Brazil started having an agricultural attaché in the Egyptian capital. It was the first time the country had that position in Egypt. Now, Cesar Simas Teles is ending his mission and passing the task to Rafael Mohana, the new Brazilian agricultural attaché to Cairo. “When I arrived, there was a demand for opening markets. I delved into this situation and started building connections; as I have a technical background, I was able to approach Egyptian technical parties,” explained Teles.
