Media quote from Mohamed Ghassan Aboud, Chairman – Ghassan Aboud Group

“The 30th edition of Gulfood reflects the UAE’s remarkable transformation into a global hub for food trade and innovation. The event, now the world’s largest F&B sourcing event, has played a central role in positioning the UAE and Dubai at the heart of the industry and as a nexus for sector trade and information exchange.

This year’s focus on the issues that matter most to our industry – food security and resilience, sustainable sourcing, digitalization and traceability, and the circular economy – will drive conversations and practices that will shape the future of food and beverage sector for the better.

“At Ghassan Aboud Group, we’re proud to contribute to this evolution through our comprehensive food ecosystem that spans import and distribution, digital B2B platforms, and retail operations. Our collaboration with AD Ports Group on the Abu Dhabi Food Hub represents a significant public-private partnership that will enhance the UAE’s position in global food trade.

“With projected trade deals of US$20 billion, this milestone edition of Gulfood demonstrates not just the UAE’s growing influence in global food commerce, but how innovation and infrastructure are shaping the future of food security in our region.”
