Armenian participation in Gulfood 2007

 

Organised since 1987, Gulfood is the region's largest and most important industry event of the year and a strategic platform for buyers and sellers to conduct direct business face to face. The exhibition is a showcase for manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers from around the world, representing all of the key sectors within the food and hospitality trade.

 

In 2007, Gulfood brought together more than 1500 direct exhibitors, representing some 2400 companies, specialised in the food and hospitality trade from 76 countries. There was 40% growth in exhibition space compared to 2006. 86% were international exhibitors, including 56 national pavilions. 

 

Gulfood 2007 has attracted more than 37 thousand visitors from more than 140 countries. It is open to trade visitors only. The event was directly advertised in more than 30 countries. Over 300 journalists, reporters and editors from around the world attended it.

 

9 Armenian companies showcased this year their products in Gulfood 2007. The Armenian Pavilion was in Zabeel Hall. The companies were: Arcolad CJSC, BAKSS LLC, Dili LLC, Dustr Marianna LLC, Echmiadzin Cannery CJSC, Elola CJSC, Natfood CJSC, SIS Natural LLC and Umbrella LLC (see details below)

 

Azad-Hye met several exhibitors and visitors. Anushavan Khachatryan from the ?Armenian Trade House General Trading LLC? (see details below) said that his company is a newly formed general trading company which has the capacity of representing and distributing any Armenian product in the United Arab Emirates and other GCC markets.

 

?The main objective is to encourage the export of the Armenian products to this area and find effective channels of distribution? said Khachatryan. ?The idea is not a new one. We had very good results since we established the company officially 7 months ago. At this moment we are dealing with brands from six different companies. Our next step is to open a supermarket, which will be a sort of permanent exhibition for Armenian products. We provide consultancy on export and customs subjects. Such information is vital, especially for small and medium size companies in Armenia that need to explore regional or international markets?, he added.

 

Armen Hakobyan of ?SIS Natural LLC? underlined that ?This is our third year of participation in Gulfood. We are introducing new brands this year. On the other hand, we have labeled our old brands with new designs and enriched the collection with new flavors. We have come to Dubai with renewed hopes for finding new markets, especially in the neighboring Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar etc.). The number of people who are visiting our stand is big, but those who are interested in closing deals with us are limited. The competitiveness is high?.

 

Sirarpi Shanlyan from ?Arcolad LLC? gave an overview of her company?s product: ?We are a chocolate manufacturing company catering for demanding clientele. We produce six varieties of chocolate coated dried fruits, such as apricot, fig, peach, melon etc. Our product is pure and without any preserving substances. We have corporate clients who use our products as corporate gifts. We had many trade visitors during the Gulfood exhibition but did not close any deal yet?.    

 

Zareh Sargsyan from Echmiadzin Cannery CJSC said: ?This is our first time presence in Dubai. We aim to introduce our product here and see how it could position ourselves in the market. We provide tomato and vegetable cannery. Gulfood is a huge exhibition. We cannot achieve much if we do not find the right distributor, who will undertake to channel our products in the local market?.
