According to Christelle Labernède, head of the Agribusiness Department - Ubifrance UAE & Qatar: “Gulfood for French companies is essential to develop their business in the region. We are inundated with requests from French companies wanting to participate in this important exhibition and now we can bring more French companies to satisfy the huge market demand for high quality produce and equipment.
"Since its creation, France has not missed a single edition of Gulfood and over the years the French presence has kept growing. As a consequence, Gulfood is already the world’s largest annual food and hospitality event and this additional capacity means this is now the largest French pavilion at any food event worldwide," he added.
Furthermore, for the first time since the embargo ended, French bovine meat producers, represented by the French Association for Exports of meat GEF, are taking part at Gulfood.
