Buyers and suppliers converged recently in Dubai, UAE, for one of the world’s largest food trade shows. While the majority of the show’s attendees were from the Middle East, Gulfood also attracted thousands of prospective buyers from Africa and Asia.
“This was Gulfood’s second year back from COVID but attendance wasn’t just back to normal, it was as busy as I’ve ever seen it,” said USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom. “Attendance over five days was estimated to be about 100,000 and when the final totals are in, it could be an all-time record.”
