The three-day event, which concludes today, is running under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Presidential Affairs and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA).

Representatives of participating companies praised the significant uptake from trade visitors and the public for the exhibition and appreciated its wide-ranging appeal and high level of organisation, as well as its role in promoting exhibited food products, services, and activities.

Asma Mohammed Ali, head of business development at the National Initiative for the Development of the Agricultural Sector, said: “Bahrain is participating for the first time in SIAL Middle East this year with a national pavilion. Alongside four other companies that specialise in agricultural production and manufacturing, the National Initiative for the Development of the Agricultural Sector is also present in the exhibition to help step up the contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP and to formulate future plans to achieve prosperity in this vital sector.”

Exhibitors at the pavilion that received a high footfall of trade visitors, applauded the visitor turnout and reiterated their intention of participating in future editions. Among the Bahraini companies participating in the exhibition are Peninsula Farms that is showcasing its latest innovation in manufacturing soap from goat milk.

Lina Hussain Al Mousa, senior media specialist – Department of Promotion and Export Opportunity at the Kuwaiti Public Authority of Industry, said: “Joining this landmark event as the Country of Honour this year has been a privilege. SIAL Middle East has established an enviable regional and global reputation as a prestigious platform that contributes to achieving food security – a key concern for the world today.”
