Fast-track your export and import development success 

Food Innovation Australia Limited is proud to partner with the City of Greater Dandenong to deliver FIAL’s Middle East Trade Readiness Forum. The objective is to fast-track your export and import development success as well as improve overall market diversification capabilities for Australian food businesses.

The Middle East continues to grow with consumer demand for Australian food and beverage products across numerous categories. By 2024, it is estimated that the UAE will spend US16.7 billion on food products, with imports representing 70% of the region’s food requirements. Food and agriculture exports from Australia already total A$3.9billion annually and the UAE forms a gateway for re-export across the region.

This is the first in our series of region-specific forums for those interested in diversifying their market opportunities and want tailored expert advice with food and agribusiness market insights. Even if you are already exporting to the region, this will still help you develop and grow your strategies or perhaps you’ll be visiting Gulfood 2024 or have secured space as an exhibitor and want to be prepared for the largest annual food trade show in the world with over 100,000 attendees.

The forum is specifically tailored to the food and beverage market to:

• share market insights on the middle east market with Australian food & agribusiness interested in learning how to best enter the market and how to avoid risk.

• highlight Middle East emerging market trends and dynamics, provide a comprehensive understanding of Halal requirements.

• brief businesses visiting or attending Gulfood 2024 with key marketing essentials and opportunity for one to one business matching.

Also on offer from FIAL is the Gulf Food and Beverage Insights Tour, UAE Dubai.  To join this exclusive in-market study tour, priority will be given to FIAL's Australian Food & Beverage Catalogue suppliers.  Find out more >
