AMMAN — A total of 36 Jordanian companies specialised in the food sector are set to take part in Gulfood 2025 Dubai, an international food and beverage trade fair, next Monday, which will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Jordan's participation in the five-day exhibition is organised by the Jordan Exporters Association (JEA), with the attendance of 5,500 exhibitors from 129 countries, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
JEA Chairman Senator Ahmad Khudari said that the Kingdom's 20th participation comes within the association's ongoing strategy to enhance national exports of food products and expand its presence in global markets.
He said that the event will be an "important" platform for displaying and promoting various Jordanian products from local food sectors, mainly meat and poultry, desserts, baked goods, dairy, cheese, spices and coffee, in addition to many other foodstuff.
Khudari said: "We are proud of the participation of these distinguished national companies in this important international event, which is an opportunity to introduce Jordanian products to global markets, reflecting the high quality of Jordan's food sector".
Referring to Jordanian exports as a solution to multiple economic problems, he referred to new markets for products to help increase production, expansion, and attraction of fresh investments, thus providing further job opportunities for Jordanians, enhancing the Kingdom's stock of foreign currency reserves and improving the trade balance.
Khudari also referred to the JEA's ongoing coordination and cooperation with Jordan and Amman chambers of industry, and Export House Company, to participate in foreign exhibitions and organise trade missions, to increase and diversify national exports to enter new markets.
JEA Director Halim Abu Rahma said that the event represents a "unique" opportunity to build relationships, conclude deals, and learn about the latest developments in the food industry.
Abu Rahma added that the fair represents a "remarkable" opportunity to boost trade ties between Jordan and Arab Gulf countries, stressing confidence that Jordanian products will receive "wide" attention from visitors and investors at the exhibition.
He added that since its establishment in 1988, the JEA's programmes have "succeeded" in promoting Jordanian industrial exports, diversifying markets, opening new, non-traditional destinations and expanding the export base under its activities, especially in the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and France.
