COUNTRY PARTNER - INDIA

India brings the full strength of its food industry back to Gulfood

India and the UAE now trade more than $100 billion in goods a year. The two governments have set a target of $200 billion by 2032, and food is one of the areas with room to grow.

Gulfood 2027 names India as Official Partner Country, represented by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India. The partnership was agreed in an MoU signed by APEDA Secretary Dr. Saswati Bose and Mark Napier, Vice President, Exhibitions Department and Growth for Food & Hospitality, inD Events, in the presence of Commerce Secretary Shri Rajesh Agrawal.

The UAE imports most of the food it consumes and re-exports across the GCC, the wider Middle East and Africa. Gulfood is where that trade gets done by buyers and suppliers, face to face, for five days in Dubai. For India, with an agri-food export target of $50 billion by 2030, it is the place to sign the next round of buyers.
