Brazilian fruit exports to Arab countries were up 41% in 2013 from 2012 to 13,790 tonnes. Revenues reached US$ 11.89 million, up 54%. The information was supplied by the Brazilian Fruit Institute (Ibraf, in the Portuguese acronym).
The Arab market is very interesting and important to us. It is growing solidly each year, said Ibraf Commercial Intelligence manager Cloves Ribeiro Neto. It is a highly strategic market to our industry, because the bulk of our exports 80% go to the European Union,
