The dehydrated herbs and spices company Inagrotiba is also looking to enter the Brazilian market. According to the brand’s CEO, Mohamed Shafik, the fair is being good for making contacts, setting up meetings and, mainly, market research. “We already have some companies that are interested, we haven’t signed any deals yet but we’re confident,” he said.

The company wants to sell in bulk to other food companies that would use the products in processed products or even to just package them to sell directly in supermarkets. “We want to sell large quantities to large companies and we will compete in the market with our quality, not only with our price,” Shafik emphasized, explaining that the entire production process of the dehydrated herbs and spices follows high standards, and with no food additives. Inagrotiba is focusing, here in Brazil, on the sales of parsley, powder onion and powder garlic. Their main competitors regarding these products are Argentina, for the parsley, and China, for the powder onion and garlic but, according to Shafik, his products are of superior quality.

Inagrotiba also sells oregano, basil, leek, cilantro, chamomile, among others. The company was founded in 2014 and is specialized in dehydration of herbs, spices, vegetables and fruits, and is looking to become a global exporter of high-quality products.
