Exhibition Introduction:

Founded in 1987, Gulfood is the largest and most important industry event in the MENA region. Gulfood is a strategic business platform for both buyers and sellers, providing opportunities for both parties to discuss business cooperation matters face-to-face. At present, the Middle East region has become one of the fastest-growing regions in terms of demand for organic food, especially in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, where demand continues to be strong, and organic food is becoming one of the main food products exported by developing countries to other countries. Although the Middle East is just beginning to endorse organic food, the market growth rate will be very impressive. Rising income levels, increased concern about food, health and safety issues, and familiarity with organic food production will be the main factors contributing to the growth of organic food in the Gulf region.

The last edition of Gulfood was the most watched industry event and trade platform of the year in the Middle East. The numbers are proof: the exhibition has a total of 81 national pavilions, organized by government departments, export associations in various industries and other cooperative units, attracting 4,200 exhibitors from 110 countries and 77,609 industry buyers from 152 countries around the world, an increase of 13% over 2012, and a total exhibition area of 113388 square meters, an increase of 24% over previous years. No other trade fair in the same industry can match the scale, providing exhibitors with such huge sales opportunities, so that your exhibited products can get the highest "exposure" in the largest food and beverage import market in the Middle East.

会展介绍：

       Gulfood始创于1987年，是中东及北非地区最大、最重要的行业盛会。Gulfood对于买卖双方来说都是一个极具战略性的商务平台，为双方提供了面对面洽谈商务合作事宜的机会。目前中东地区成为有机食品需求增长最快的地区之一，尤其是沙特阿拉伯，阿联酋和阿曼地区需求持续旺盛，有机食品正成为发展中国家向其他国家出口的主要食品之一。中东虽然刚开始认可有机食品，但其市场增长速度将是非常惊人的。收入水平提高，对食品、健康和安全问题的关注程度增加以及熟悉有机食品生产等等都将是海湾地区有机食品增长的主要因素。
       上届海湾食品展是中东区域年度最受关注行业盛事和贸易平台。数字为证：展会共设有81个国家馆，由政府部门，各个行业内的出口协会以及其他合作单位承办，吸引了来自110个国家的4200名展商，来自世界152个国家的77609名业内买家，比2012年增长13%，展会面积共计113388平米，比往届增长24%。没有其他一家同行业展会能与之在规模上相媲美，给参展者提供如此巨大的销售机会, 让您的参展产品在中东地区最大的食品饮料进口市场得到最高的”曝光率”。
       上次展会中，食品饮料一如既往的受到展商和观众的亲赖，高端的品牌形象仍然是吸引国际专业买家的重要原因。而迎合中东地区食品生产和加工的市场发展趋势，配料市场也是亦步亦趋，紧随其后，这也将成为食品成品，饮料，健康食品生产商和原材料，配料生厂商沟通接洽的神来之笔。同样加工机械和食品包装不甘落后，秋水长天共一色，得益于26000平米的新增展览面积 加工机械和食品包装面积增长了2倍，可以想象在这么一个超速增长的行业分支里蕴藏何等多的商机。
