Some of the partners they had the opportunity to meet again were: Adriana Arrieta from Prodeman, Mohammed Feroz from Arab & Indian Spices LLC, Marcelo Porto and Mauricio Estevez from Afrinvest and Juan Rojas.
On this occasion, Reinaldo Pedrique, CEO of GSI Food, was invited to a meeting organized by Arab Indian Spices and its host Harish Tahiliani. In this private event he was able to share with all the representatives of companies that make up the grain industry and especially the mung bean industry.
Reinaldo Pedrique said, “I want to emphasize the importance of the presence of GSI Food in this event, as it is a space that allows us to maintain and strengthen relationships with our allies and at the same time allows us to open paths for new partnerships.
Finally, before departing back to Venezuela, the GSI Food team hosted a dinner, where several representatives of Venezuelan companies in the grain industry were invited.
In 2022, Venezuela was the leader in South American mung bean exports with +120 thousand MT of the product, a figure that allowed us to surpass traditional exporters such as Argentina and Brazil.
This meeting served to help strengthen relations between the guild and ensure that everyone works towards improving the quality and position and influence of Venezuela within the global market for grains and especially for mung beans.
