  "summary": "Three experts with experience in business internationalization shared their insights on operating abroad at an event hosted by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) in São Paulo. Luiz Fernando Furlan, Brazil’s former Minister of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, discussed Brazil's chicken exports to Arab countries, which began in 1975 and have since grown significantly. Furlan emphasized the importance of professionalizing and training the workforce for exporting products, as well as the need for companies to send employees to trade fairs abroad to learn about competitors and industry technologies. Leandro Mota, export manager at M.Dias Branco, stressed the importance of adopting a long-term approach to exporting, moving beyond seizing short-term opportunities. Julia de Biase, owner of Al Ward Arabic Perfumes Store, highlighted the need for patience and investment in long-term relationships when doing business with Arab partners, as well as the potential for market opportunities beyond the Gulf region, such as in Egypt.",
