Lebanese ma'amoul + baklawa industrial scale?

Lebanese ma'amoul (معمول) — signature Lebanese Eid sweet, semolina-shortbread cookies filled with date paste (bil-tamr), pistachio (bil-fistuk), or walnut (bil-jowz), incorporating rose water + orange blossom water in dough. Production scales massively before Eid al-Fitr + Eid al-Adha — Lebanese sweet houses run 3-shift continuous production 4-6 weeks before each Eid. Baklawa libanaise differs from Turkish — lighter syrup with rose + orange blossom, finer phyllo, often with pistachio. Halawat al-jibn (sweet cheese roll) uniquely Lebanese. Lebanese sweet exports to global diaspora drive substantial secondary demand.

Lebanese Banking Crisis & Payment Considerations

Lebanon's banking sector has been in crisis since 2019 — Lebanese Lira (LBP) has experienced extreme depreciation (from ~1,500 LBP/USD pre-crisis to 90,000+ LBP/USD black market rate by 2024). Lebanese banks have implemented informal capital controls. Standard B2B payment with Lebanese buyers now requires:

USD direct payment (no LBP invoicing) — paid via T/T from Lebanese buyer's overseas account, UAE-based intermediary banking, or Lebanese-diaspora-owned operating company structures (USA, France, Brazil, Argentina entities)
100% T/T advance only for first-time Lebanese buyers
L/C confirmed by non-Lebanese international bank (HSBC, Standard Chartered, BNP Paribas via Paris, Bank of America)
30/70 T/T only with established repeat customers and trust + bank reference

Lebanese-diaspora-owned import companies (operating from USA, France, Brazil, Argentina, UAE) provide cleaner banking pathway and now handle substantial proportion of Lebanese trade.
