Exporters join AHDB at Gulfood
Beef, lamb and dairy from the UK will be under the spotlight this month at one of the world’s largest food and drink trade shows in Dubai.
Held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the exhibition runs from February 20 to 24, attracting thousands of buyers from the food and beverage industry. This year, more than 5,000 companies from 125 countries are expected to exhibit.
According to the latest data from HMRC, between January and November last year, shipments of lamb to the United Arab Emirates increased 73 per cent in value to £1.5 million.
AHDB Senior Halal Sector Manager Dr Awal Fuseini said: “The Middle East is a hugely important market for our beef and lamb exports, with demand for UK products increasing year-on-year.
“Gulfood is one of the most important events in our export calendar as it provides the perfect platform for our exporters to showcase their products to buyers from not only the Middle East, but across the rest of the world.
“We look forward to facilitating important connections for our exporters, which will hopefully result in new business opportunities in this lucrative market.”
