During a visit to São Paulo, Qatar's Chamber of Commerce chair Mohamed Bin Amed Al Obaidly met with ABCC President William Adib Dib Jr. to discuss Qatar's aspirations to become a major export hub. Al Obaidly emphasized the Gulf nation's interest in becoming a central location for companies, particularly those in the food sector, to manufacture and re-export goods.
The Qatar Chamber Public Relations Department Director, Ahmed Abu Nahya, joined Al Obaidly for the meeting as part of their schedule in Brazil. The Qatar Chamber's aim is to attract Brazilian companies to establish operations within their country. During their visit, they met with industry representatives, government officials, and members of São Paulo's industry group, Fiesp.
Obaidly stressed that Qatar seeks not only food security but also to become a food exporter, thus attracting investments in logistics, production, and distribution from the private sector. The meeting included a presentation of bilateral trade data by Marcus Vinicius, Market Intelligence Manager at the Qatar Chamber, which showed Brazil's exports and imports in 2025.
While exports declined by 17.4% to USD 373.4 million, imports decreased by 19.7% to USD 591.8 million. Brazil's primary exports included beef, chicken, refined oil, and iron ore, while its main imports were nitrogen fertilizers, refined oil, sulfur, and aluminum.
