In October 2019, the Gulf Food Show in Dubai came to an end, as the most popular integrated food industry exhibition in the Middle East and the world, attracting counsellors from all over the world. The exhibition opened a total of 81 national pavilions, a total exhibition area of 100,000 square meters, from the world's 4256+ exhibitors gathered here, including about 180 Chinese exhibitors, a total exhibition area of more than 1,500 square meters.

The exhibition lasted for 5 days, and the sales department of the company was responsible for participating and planning, during which a large number of overseas customers and peers were met. GULFOOD is the leading trade show in the industry and a barometer of the development trends of the confectionery, dessert, ice cream and snack food markets in the Gulf region. At the same time, as a successful subsidiary of the Cologne Confectionary Fair in Germany, it points to a huge market of one billion people with one of the highest GDPS in the world. For confectionery producers, it is a premium platform to fully showcase new products and recipes and open the Middle East market to find customers.

According to GULFOOD's latest market report, driven by population growth, the urbanized population is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 1.7% between 2018 and 2023, outpacing the total population growth of 1.0% over the same period, and the global demand for packaged food and beverages will grow further. At the same time, the "Belt and Road" concept will have a profound impact on the global economy, and will expand the overseas development space of Chinese enterprises in the fields of logistics, industrialization and tourism. Dubai and the UAE are an excellent gateway for China to explore markets in the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Dubai's diversified economy and strategic geographical location provide more diverse opportunities for Chinese trade and investment.
