The 15th Gulfood promises to be the biggest edition ever, following news that the 20% extra space at this year’s show has completely sold out.
The Middle East’s largest event for food, drink, foodservice and hospitality exhibition will occupy one million square feet of exhibition space at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).
Running from February 21-24, 2010, Gulfood offers a powerful networking and sales platform for the Middle East food and beverage industry, attracting key buyers and influencers from 81 countries around the world.

Commenting on the event, Helal Saeed Almarri, chief executive of show organiser Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), said: “Companies large and small from around the world are increasingly taking an interest in the Middle East.
“Whether they are food distributors looking for the latest products, or manufacturers looking for new markets, Gulfood is indisputably recognised as the number one platform to gain an insight, and a foothold, into one of the world’s fastest growing markets.”
Several countries will be taking part for the first time this year, including Kuwait, Libya, Lithuania, Sudan, Ukraine and Uganda.
Gulfood will also welcome new national pavilions from Kenya, Portugal and Uruguay.
In addition to more than 1350 new exhibitors, Gulfood 2010 will see a range of industry leaders showcasing more products and services than ever before, including Al Ghurair, Al Islami, Nestlé Professional, Puratos, Rational AG, Sadia, Tyson and platinum sponsor Etihad Salehia.
Gulfood is strictly a trade-only event, open to business and trade visitors from within the industry only.
