Egypt's food and beverage industry (F&B) is looking to expand its export footprint and leverage growing demand for halal products with a major promotion at the Gulfood exhibition in Dubai.
Around 167 Egyptian companies will participate in the 21st edition of Gulfood, which runs from February 21 to 25 at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).
"Egypt is bringing a much wider, multi-commodities exhibitor profile to Gulfood in 2016 covering suppliers of freshly frozen fruit and vegetables, chocolate biscuits, dairy and dates," said Trixie LohMirmand, senior vice-president, exhibitions and events management, DWTC.
"There appears to be renewed impetus among Egyptian producers given that food exports are increasingly accounting for increased revenues in export earnings. The country is well placed to seize the demand for halal produce." In 2014, Egypt shipped $26.8 billion worth of goods globaly, with vegetables, fruits and nuts featuring among the country's top five exports.
