February 17, 2025 – The 30th edition of Gulfood, set to take place in the United Arab Emirates from February 17 to 21, will feature a historic national representation from Chile. A total of 28 companies supported by ProChile will exhibit their healthy, safe, and sustainable food products, while 20 more companies will attend as visitors to what is considered the largest food and beverage platform in the Middle East and Africa.
Organized by Dubai World Trade Center, Gulfood will host over 5,500 exhibitors from 129 countries, driving the next chapter of global food innovation and trade. Chile will play a key role, presenting a comprehensive portfolio of products, including walnuts, almonds, dried plums, hazelnuts, raisins, and oats. Additionally, meat sector companies and the Faenacar trade association will participate to expand Chile’s meat exports to the Middle East.
Joining the Chilean delegation is Chilehalal, a certified food entity meeting religious standards, which was accredited in November 2024 by the UAE’s Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology to issue Halal certificates. This milestone marks Chile’s most diverse and robust delegation to Gulfood, aiming to diversify its range of goods and services not only in the UAE but across the Middle East.
