Egyptian companies closed deals for the first time over five days of the Gulfood exhibition, the trade show that took place in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, last week, Egyptian Food Export Council CEO May Khairy told ANBA on Wednesday.
Egyptian pavilion at Gulfood 2023 had dairy, juice and cereal companies showcasing their goods, as Khairy aims to increase the number of spaces allocated to Egyptian companies in the next editions.
Alaa El-Wakeel, representative of the council, said Gulfood saw an unprecedented number of visitors, as he expects that this will contribute to increase exports from Egypt.
Furthermore, the countries participating in the exhibition are now different, with companies from East Asia, the Eastern Europe (including Russia), and Africa, he said.
