The Promoter of Commerce of Costa Rica is promoting products manufactured in Costa Rica in Dubai. The promoting office is participating in the Middle East industry fair known as Gulfood Dubai, which is being held in the United Arab Emirates from February 17 to 21.



The Gulfood Industries Fair receives more than 98,000 visitors each year and has more than 5,000 exhibitors from 193 countries in 120 halls. The focus of the fair is buyers from the Middle East and North Africa.



The promoter’s office reports that this year, for the fourth time, the products of six companies that export dehydrated fruit, frozen fruit, preserved palm hearts, concentrated juices, chocolate bars, cocoa and banana puree, among others, are being promoted at the fair.



The companies that promote their products in the Costa Rican stand are: Paradise Ingredients, All Natural, Gold Coast International, DEMSA, VISA Agricultural Products and Nahua Cacao.



In agreement with Pedro Beirute, General Manager of PROCOMER, "United Arab Emirates is a sophisticated market which we aim for because we know that our products are up to their trends and palates. We hope that this fair allows us to make known more the benefits of our exportable offers and our way of doing business."




According to Mr. Beirute, the annual participation in Gulfood is strategic because it allows them to generate and specify business opportunities with current and potential customers in the UAE and the Middle East.




The promoters said that representatives of the companies participating in the stand, in addition to offering products at the fair, will visit various Emirati firms with the aim of generating more business.



Among the companies that will be visited are: Lulu Hypermarket Barsha, Carrefour Mall of Emirates, Union Coop Barsha, Spinneys Meadows, Waitrose Dubai Marina Mall, JAFZA Free Zone and Dubai Chamber.
