The current situation of the industry in the Middle East market:
In recent years, with the increase of population, changes in food structure, and rising food prices, the demand for food in Middle Eastern countries has been increasing year by year, with an annual growth rate of 7%. However, the development speed of domestic food production is relatively slow, with an annual growth rate of only 2%, which is far from meeting domestic demand.
2. China has a large demand for tea, canned food, convenience food, honey, red dates, walnut kernels, sugar garlic, seasonings, leisure food, food additives, food machinery, etc. in the local area. In summary, this exhibition is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Chinese companies to explore the Middle East market!
About 40% of the imported products from the United Arab Emirates are re exported to other regions in the Middle East, African and Eastern European countries. Its market covers nearly 30 countries with a total population of 1.5 billion, making it the largest distribution center for various products sold to these countries and regions.
As the city with the only 7-star hotel in the world and numerous 5-star hotels, Dubai's demand for cuisine naturally does not lag behind any other region in the world.
● Preferential policies: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will use new import regulations and adopt unified standards for food imports and safety inspections. GCC member countries include the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The new food import regulations stipulate that food that has been inspected and certified as pollution-free can enter GCC, and as long as the food can be exported to any one of GCC countries, it can directly enter the other five GCC member countries without the need for re inspection. The new GCC import regulations can reduce the submission of documents and inspection procedures, as well as lower food prices, as they only require inspection and certification from one country, reducing the handling fees for submission of documents and avoiding issues such as inconsistent import standards across countries.
