Brazil’s Development, Industry and Foreign Trade minister Miguel Jorge, and the minister of Industry of Sudan, Ali Ahmed Osman, should soon sign a protocol of understanding for industrial cooperation between both countries. They met November 20, in São Paulo, to discuss the common interests and sectors. Agroindustry is among the main interests.
According to Miguel Jorge, the protocol should cover partnerships between food processing industries, production of leather and shoes, textiles and garments, metal and electric and electronic products. “We are also going to develop work to bring businessmen from both countries closer together,” he said.
The minister of Sudan spoke about the plans for industrialization of his country and about the program for construction of 10 ethanol and sugarcane mills. Osman invited Miguel Jorge to the inauguration, in January, of the first ethanol factory of Sudan, which was equipped with Brazilian machinery.
According to Miguel Jorge, the Sudanese are greatly interested in Brazilian technology for production of ethanol and dual fuel vehicles. Currently, 70% of the fleet of the Arab country is gasoline powered and the government plans to start mixing ethanol into it.
“Brazil is interested in spreading the cultivation of sugarcane for production of ethanol as we need to replace the more polluting fossil fuels,” said the minister, who also discussed the possibility of Brazil exporting flexible-fuel vehicles to Sudan.
