The Jews have kosher, the Muslims have Halal. And Brazil is looking to increase its share of exports aimed at the world’s Muslim community.

January 16, 2024Sao Paulo – In 2023, the Halal do Brasil Project presented halal products (produced under the laws of Islam) to consumers and business people worldwide in actions in Arab countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Germany, in addition to Brazil itself. The goal for 2024 is to expand the promotion and visibility of these products. The project is a partnership between the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). It started in January 2023 and will run until April 2025, when it could be renewed. Pictured above, Brazilian halal products promotion in a show.
As nations go, Brazil has a low percentage of Muslims in its population, far less than 1%. Moreover, Brazil is almost one-third Evangelical Christian, with a large pro-Zionist community.
Not exactly the kind of place one would expect to find a drive to export halal (Muslim religiously accepted) food products.
But roughly 15 million people in Brazil are Arab in whole or part, albeit almost all Christian. And they would want to make money exporting Brazil’s foodstuffs to the world, even the Arab world.

Religion aside, there is money to be made. Brazil is trying to increase its share of the market.
Brazil’s Arab ethnic groups give Brazil an edge.
