Award winning taste from Northern Ireland Naturally at Gulfood 15
Visitors to the Northern Ireland Naturally showcase at Gulfood will see and be able to sample innovative food and drink products which have won many of the most important awards for outstanding taste and quality. The Northern Ireland products are part of the UK Pavilion in the Sheikh Saeed Hall 3 (A34-38 and B33-47).
Gulfood is now among the most successful events in the international business calendar for Northern Ireland food and drink companies. The event continues to grow in popularity with Northern Ireland companies because it generates significant business during the show and afterwards.
As a direct result of participation at Gulfood, many of the biggest retailers in the Emirates, including Spinneys, LuLu, Carrefour and Al Maya, now source a wide range of products, such as meat, dairy, bakery products, convenience meals and sides, baby food and mineral water, from our companies.
Indeed many of the leading European and Asian retailers look to Northern Ireland for new ideas in food and drink. They include Carrefour, El Corte Ingles Sainsbury's, Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, Tesco, Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Lidl, Aldi and Wellcome
Northern Ireland food and drink has grown in popularity because of its award winning heritage and source of quality and innovative products with wholesomeness, provenance and, perhaps above all its strong global food security reputation.
The industry is Northern Ireland's biggest manufacturer and key exporter which generated upwards of £4.5 billion last year to the local economy. Processing plants operate to the highest European hygiene frameworks using locally sourced ingredients from producers operating to excellent animal welfare standards.
The presentation has been organised by Invest Northern Ireland, the region's Government development agency which organises trade programmes including 'Meet the Buyer' visits by key business people in both retail and foodservice organisations worldwide.
