Fully integrated meat producer Banvit has joined the sponsor lineup at this year’s Big F&B Forum, taking place on September 20, 2016 at The Westin Mina Seyahi, Dubai
Murat Kunt, general manager, GCC region, Banvit explains why the giant meat producer will be supporting the second edition of this year’s Big F&B Forum. 
Why have you chosen to support BNC Publishing’s Big F&B forum?
Considering the success of last year’s Big F&B Forum, we see that the gathering of top chefs and F&B professionals gives us the chance to showcase our products to our right target audience. With great topics set to be discussed, and the likes of celebrity chef Gary Rhodes in attendance there is every reason for us to be associated with a prestigious industry event.
What is your opinion of the Middle East’s F&B landscape?
The Middle East has one of the most competitive F&B scenes globally. With new restaurants and chains opening on a daily basis, the UAE in particular is setting new standards in industry trends. The landscape of the industry continues to grow and develop at an unprecedented rate, outpacing other neighbouring regions, therefore I am sure that the F&B scene across the Middle East will continue to achieve new milestones in the coming years.
Can you tell us a little more about Banvit’s product offering?
Banvit has a wide range of products available for retail and HORECA sectors. Our range includes whole chickens, chicken parts, further processed chicken products and calibrated chicken and turkey products.
Each year, Banvit enriches its portfolio by offering innovative new product ranges and further processed products, consumed mainly by kids, like nuggets, popcorn, meatball, burger, breaded burger are 100% natural and free from E-Codes and preservatives.
We are also capable of adapting to a clients individual needs and requirements. Currently in the GCC and Turkey, we work with KFC; The Cheese Cake Factory; Turkish Airlines; Chilis; Etihad; Texas Road House; Shake Shack; Nestle; Subway and IKEA alongside other well known brands.
What are your company’s plans for the next 12 months?
Banvit has been in the UAE for almost four years. Day by day, Banvit is working on increasing its presence in the retail and food service industries, which has paid off as we are now a recognised poultry brand. We are now looking to develop local production, as this would enable the company to serve products in accordance with local preferences wit a higher speed to shelf.
