Given the UAE imports US$ Million 1,834.9 worth food & beverages every year from the world with top importing products as Agro commodities, food preparations, coffee, tea, sweets & confectionery, frozen and fresh food items, etc.
India currently caters to less than 15% in total European F&B imports in the above mentioned product segments. Hence, this platform will offer Indian manufacturers and exporters from Agro commodities, food preparations, coffee, sweets, bakery & confectionery, fresh & frozen food products, canned items etc. to establish direct contact with importers of UAE for initiating / expanding business in the country.
