 Cereal and organic bar maker Renk's Industrial, headquartered in São Paulo, in the Southeast of Brazil is after importers all over the world. After winning the United States, Mexico and several countries in the European continent, the Brazilian company would like to also sell in the Arab market.
"Our main contacts are in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. We are still researching the organic product market there, but we know that there is a great potential for our products in the region," added Leandro Farkuh, commercial director at the company.
The products made by the firm are under the umbrella brand BioBrasilProducts and there are also others: BioSanck, composed of fruit snacks and Brazilian nuts, eBar Organic, Brazilian fruit bars, BioPalm, an açaí bar and BiO2, a cereal bar with Brazilian fruit.
"Brand BioBrasilProducts was created to be a reference in organic food in Brazil and worldwide," stated Farkuh.
Exports already represent 50% of Renk's revenues. The company is certified by Ecocert. Cereal bar eBar Organic is the main product sold by the company and the main destination markets are the United States, England, France, Germany and Mexico.
The products in line eBar are packed using only ecologically correct material. "The line is a pioneer in the use of biodegradable film in food packages and all the boxes are made out of recycled paper," explained the director.
Another product that promises to make success on the foreign market is line eNergy, based on the high level of energy extracted from the fruit. This organic line is based on açaí, cupuassu, Barbados cherry and guaraná in all flavors. These flavors mixed with a fruit of dominant taste create the differentiated bars.
According to Farkuh, the Brazilian origin of the products is evident in the use of exotic fruit and nuts with low concentrations of calories. "The bars are natural or organic and receive no chemicals or sugar," pointed out the director.
There is also line eLements, inspired on the four elements that are essential to life: fire, water, earth and air. "This line includes the first organic bar of Brazil, the one we baptized Earth," stated Farkuh.
To guarantee the contact with new markets and to strengthen relations with the current importers, the company usually participates in trade missions and fairs like the Biofach, the largest organic sector trade fair in the world, which took place between February 21 and 24 this year, in Nuremberg, Germany.
"The fair was great. Each year we participate with a greater stand and return with further business negotiated," explained Farkuh.

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose. 
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj). 
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
