Filipino food and beverage (F&B) companies are gearing up to tap into the booming Halal market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With the UAE's Halal F&B market estimated at a staggering $20 billion, representing a significant share of the global market, Filipino businesses are eyeing opportunities for growth and expansion.
Hosted by the Dubai Airport Free Zone, a pivotal business hub in global trade, the event aims to facilitate connections between Filipino F&B companies and the lucrative UAE market. Scheduled for February 26th, 2024, the B2B program will feature presentations from key stakeholders, including government officials and industry experts.
Among the agenda highlights are presentations from prominent figures such as Mr. Abdur Rahim Ghulam Nabi, Chief Advisor to DG at Dubai Airport Free Zone, and Mr. Tomás Guerrero, Director of the Halal Trade and Marketing Centre. These sessions will provide insights into market dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and growth opportunities within the UAE's Halal F&B sector.
Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry Philippines and the Halal Trade and Marketing Centre, the event underscores the commitment to fostering international trade partnerships and promoting the Philippines' F&B industry on a global scale.
With the UAE's status as the third-largest importer of Halal F&B products among Muslim-majority countries, Filipino businesses see immense potential in catering to the diverse tastes and preferences of consumers in the region. Through strategic collaborations and market insights gained from events like these, Filipino F&B companies aim to carve out a significant presence in one of the world's most vibrant Halal markets.
