19 Dubai companies engaged in pasta industry, says Dubai Economy

The emirate of Dubai has 19 companies engaged in pasta production and industry, a recent report issued by the Business Registration & Licensing (BRL) sector of Dubai Economy has highlighted.

These include the Emirates Macaroni Factory, which is a pioneer of pasta production in the entire Middle East region, producing superior quality pasta since 1976. The companies engaged in pasta production and its derivatives are based in Al Barsha 1, Al Rigga, Grand Souq, Al Quoz Industrial Area 4, Jebel Ali 1, Al Quoz Industrial Area 1, Al Quoz 3, Dubai Investments Park 1, Dubai Investments Park 2, and Al Shindagha. Limited Liability companies accounted for 16 companies followed by two Sole Establishments, and a single One-Person Limited Liability Company.

There is a growing demand for pasta and its derivatives locally, which has led to the growing number of brands that address the diverse tastes and preferences of consumers. The local market is witnessing an increase in demand for local, GCC and European brands of pasta, and local manufacturing experiences have reached an advanced stage that led to a rise in exports, which indicates the ability of our local products to compete globally.

The local pasta is of high quality and is the lowest in price compared to its imported counterparts. The pasta industry also contributes to food security and self-reliance, led by local production. Local companies have several opportunities for growth, as the future growth of the population will lead to an increase in consumption. Further, they have ease of availability of quality raw materials, and the advantages of geographical proximity to manufacturing plants and speed of supply.
