Since its inception in 1987, Gulfood has become a powerful trade forum and has been driving the global food and beverage industry forward. The event, running from Jan. 26 till Jan. 21 at Dubai World Trade Center, will bring together thousands of global exhibitors and industry stakeholders from over 130 countries.

This year, TDAP is facilitating an unprecedented 67 Pakistani companies across four specialized pavilions, covering Rice, Pulses and Grains; World Food; Beverages; and Meat and Poultry sectors.
