Sugar, poultry, meat and aircraft spare parts are the major exports from Brazil to the UAE, whereas fertiliser for agriculture is the main export from the UAE to Brazil, he explained.
Two daily flights operated by Emirates from Dubai to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in Brazil are the only direct flights from the UAE to Latin America. "Therefore, Brazil acts as a gateway to Latin America for the UAE," he said.
The BRF has the biggest meat processing plant in the Middle East region in Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi, KIZAD, which employs 600 people.
Igreja said that more such Brazilian companies are expected to enter the UAE market soon, adding that the innovation communities in the two countries also "have a close link."
He mentioned that a Brazilian startup won the top prize at GITEX Future Stars, the region's biggest startup pitch competition.
Key2Enable, an Abu Dhabi-based startup bringing digital accessibility to People of Determination, won the prize 'Supernova Challenge' at GITEX in Dubai this month, the ambassador said.
The same startup had won the 'Entrepreneur Hero award' at the EdTech Innovation Startup Competition 2018, which was held in Abu Dhabi.
It was a global competition organised by Krypto Labs, an Abu Dhabi-based innovation hub, for startups that push the frontiers of transformation in education technology.
