India has shot past Brazil in food exports to the Arab countries for the first time in 15 years as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted trade flows in 2020, according to a Reuters report from Sao Paulo on Tuesday.</p>
<p>
Data provided by the Arab-Brazil Chamber of Commerce to the news agency shows that Brazil accounted for 8.15% of the total farm products imported by the 22 members of the League of Arab states last year, while India accounted for 8.25% of the total trade pie.</p>
<p>
Brazil lost ground to India and other exporters such as Turkey, the United States, France and Argentina due to the disruption of traditional shipping routes.</p>
<p>
Brazilian shipments to Saudi Arabia that once took 30 days could now take up to 60 days, according to the Chamber, whereas India&#39;s closer geographic location enables ships carrying fruits, vegetables, sugar, grains and meat to reach Arab ports in a week.</p>
