Last week, we attended the Global Grain and Pulses Forum and 30th edition of Gulfood in Dubai, a key event for the global F&B and agriculture industry. With over 5,500 exhibitors from 129 countries showcasing more than a million products, it was once again a great platform to meet our valued customers, discuss current market challenges and explore upcoming opportunities.

For us, both events are particularly important as we continue to focus on growing our contribution to the global food supply chain stability and resilience, with a strong emphasis on the MENA region as an emerging market for various agri goods. We strongly believe that agricultural SMEs should have solid access to financing tools to be able to sustain and grow their business. It aligns seamlessly with the UAE’s strategic mission to bolster SMEs, particularly within the agricultural sector. The Ministry of Economy through National SME Program emphasizes that supporting the growth of SMEs is a priority, recognizing them as a key pillar in advancing the national economy.

On top of that, we took part in several key events from the exhibition program, including the Breakfast Briefing organized by Dubai Chamber of Commerce. Engaging in these discussions provided key figures and a fresh industry overview, helping us stay ahead of the curve.

A big thank you to everyone we met and connected with at Gulfood 2025 and Global Grain Forum! It was a pleasure to have meaningful discussions, exchange markets forecast and work on new opportunities together. We look forward to grow the business with our existing customers and kick-off new projects, driving the industry forward.
