Oman Participates in Gulfood 2026
Exhibition in Dubai

Dubai,
26 Jan 2026 (ONA) — The Sultanate of Oman is currently participating in the
31st edition of the Gulfood exhibition “Gulfood 2026,” which
commenced today at the Dubai World Trade Centre and the Dubai Exhibition Centre
at Expo City Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The event features
participation from 195 countries and over 8,500 exhibitors and brands.

Khalid Sulaiman Al Salhi,
Director General of Marketing and Commercial Affairs at the Public
Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn), stated that the new location at
Expo City Dubai has contributed to doubling the area of the Omani pavilion,
which now exceeds 330 square meters. The number of participating institutions
has surpassed 25, making this participation the largest for the Sultanate of
Oman’s pavilion compared to previous editions, he added.

He
pointed out that during its participation in the 31st edition, Madayn sought to
provide a qualitative addition within the framework of efforts to attract and
localize foreign investments in the Sultanate of Oman. This, he said, is being
achieved through organizing the event “From Factory to Table: Investment
Insights for the Future of the Food Industry.”

The event will focus on investing
in the food industries by discussing opportunities for growth and expansion in
regional and global markets, as well as supply chains and industrial
integration by enhancing efficiency from production to the end consumer.

It will also address innovation
and sustainability in the food sector through the use of modern technology,
emphasizing quality and reducing waste. Additionally, it aims to empower small
and medium enterprises and showcase successful Omani stories and promising
models in food manufacturing, while also opening doors for strategic
partnerships, building trade relations, and exploring prospects for cooperation
between investors and supporting entities.
