Jafza targeting industrial sectors in Ukraine

DUBAI — Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (Jafza) is targeting industrial and agricultural sectors in Ukraine to help them set up operations in Jafza, according to a senior official from the authority.

Ibrahim Al Janahi, regional manager, Europe, Jafza, who is heading a delegation of senior officials from Jafza to Ukraine and Russia as part of a focused marketing and promotional campaign to attract leading companies from these countries to set up operations in Jafza, said that Jafza had all the required infrastructure and facilities that can benefit these sectors.

He said: "The industrial sector in Ukraine is developing at a fair pace, despite the recent instability in the region. Due to the favourable climatic conditions in the country, Ukraine is mainly an agricultural area and most of its industries revolve around this sector. It is one of the world's major sugar producing centers and is also known for its timber and petrochemical industry. We will primarily target these sectors to help them set up operations in Jafza, as we have all the required infrastructure and facilities that can benefit these sectors."

"The Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is providing us with the required assistance and support. We will be hosting a seminar that will focus on business opportunities in Dubai and Jafza and provide details to participants on the various aspects of trade and business in Dubai. More than 150 leading businessmen and decision makers are expected to attend this seminar, presenting us with a good opportunity to attract investments to the free zone," he added .
