A Profile of UAE
Despite global economic downturn, the UAE economy continues to grow and the overall
economic outlook is positive. The UAE has diversified its economy. Non-oil sectors now
make up approximately 70% of GDP. This will help to make the country’s revenue
sources more balanced and create a sustainable economy that can withstand long-term
oil price volatility. Dubai is the region’s business, logistics, media and leisure hub. The
award of EXPO 2020 to Dubai is forecast to boost the economy by US$23 billion.
Other positive factors for growth include:
• UAE’s well-established infrastructure
• strong banking system
• stable political system
• the number of free trade zones that can allow 100% foreign ownership and a nil
taxation regime
• ongoing and new developments including Sadiyaat Island in Abu Dhabi,
Mohammed Bin Rashid City in Dubai and the Fujairah Master Plan
The Gulf region has enjoyed continued growth. This has been driven by rising public
sector spending, especially on physical and social infrastructure, as well as buoyant
private sector activity. The UAE’s proximity to other Gulf markets acts as an entry route
to other GCC countries.
The GCC currently only has a few free trade agreements in place, including those with
the Greater Arab Free Trade Area, the European Free Trade Area (Switzerland, Norway,
Iceland and Liechtenstein) and Singapore. Discussions are continuing with several other
countries such as India and the EU.
Till 2014 February Gulf Food was arranged as a single show. But due to exceptional
visitor growth and exhibitor demand, the show has been announced in a two show
format with each event focused on quite different and distinct buyer groups.
Show 1. Gulf Food Manufacturing- for the industrial producer and food processing
industry. This event is the new home for ingredient, processing and packaging
equipments. Logistics is also included in the warehousing, refrigeration, materials
handling and supply chain management.
Show 2. Gulf Food.-will in future focus on the retail, hospitality,, trade and food service
industries. Buying motivators here are focused on price quality availability, service
delivery and continuity. The Gulf Food is therefore amended to focus on finished and
packaged food catering and hospitality equipment.

Board's Participation

their participation.

In addition to the above, M/s. Synthite Industries, A K Flavours, Kancore, VKL, Plant
Lipids, Paras Dehydrates, Merchant Exports, Cemex etc .were also participated in in
India Pavillion on their own.
Spices Board's stall has been visited by nearly 200 visitors. There are 52 specific
enquiries on Indian spices and Indian Spice Industry (Details given in Annexure 2).
Majority of the enquiries were on availability of major spices like cardamom, pepper,
chilli and seed spices. There was an interesting enquiry on possibility of fair trade and
contract farming on spices. Questions on availability of organic spices and large
cardamom were received and answered. Since exporters on different spices/product
were having their own independent stalls, specific queries were directed to such
exporters for their individual attention.
Feed back of visitors
All the visitors appreciated the way in which participation of Board has been arranged during the
show. They were given answers specific to their enquiries. Our exporters individually attended
to the requirement of buyers when they visited their stalls.
There were 12 exporters participated under Board's co-ordination and all the exporters were of
the opinion that individual participation in separate stalls is really beneficial to them for catering
to the needs of existing and new buyers. This has also helped our exporters to create new leads
for further follow ups for materializing the demand. They expressed their interest to attend the
show on Gulf Food Manufacturing with the Spices Board in the coming years.
Suggestions
• Fascia for the stalls may be made more visible to the visitors
• A panel showing Board’s website address and ‘contact us’ may be displayed
• Since exporters are allotted separate stalls, area of Board's stall can be reduced
• Some of the exporters suggested that the Board may request the organizers to allow
participation of Spices Board and its registered exporters in Gulf Food 2015..
