Qatar Chamber Board Member Eng Ali Abdul Latif al Missned told the Qatar Tribune that Portugal's meat and poultry products are high in quality and follow slaughtering procedures that are in line with halal standards, therefore, it is hoped that Portugal can become Qatar’s main supplier of poultry. 

Reciprocal opportunities for trade between Portugal and Qatar are being sought in the negotiations, as Qatar hopes export timber and building materials, as well as certain agricultural commodities, to Portugal.
