These visitors were a diverse group of decision makers, business owners, CEOs, buyers and traders in addition to information gatherers interested in the food industries, they added.

Visitors were mainly from Ukraine, GCC, Brazil, France, Poland, South Africa, India, the United States of America and Seychelles. Several Bahraini companies and factories participating in the Bahraini pavilion at Gulfood announced finalising commercial deals and constructive talks with international investors, traders, distributors, and airlines in the region and the world. These Bahraini companies also had the opportunity to distribute samples of their products and brochures containing company information for visitors from around the globe. The participation of the Bahraini national pavilion in the exhibition came with the aim of strengthening local industries and opening new export channels for Bahraini companies in the local, regional and international markets.

This comes within the framework of Bahraini companies’ endeavour to find new markets and reach new importers, investors and partners, to increase the market shares of the local exports to global markets, and strengthening  the contribution of the food sector to the GDP of the Kingdom.
