        Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, highlighted the

        significance of the Municipality's participation in Gulfood Exhibition, which is

        one of the biggest events that brings together food and beverage communities

        around the world.

        He added that the exhibition is an annual forum for sharing expertise and

        knowledge in the field to gain a comprehensive understanding of global and

        future trends, latest industry developments, production, circulation and food

        and beverages.

        Al Hajri stated that the exhibition will serve as an ideal opportunity to shed

        light on the Municipality's efforts to create a sustainable food system in Dubai

        while safeguarding communities from food risks.


        He further pointed out that this will contribute to enhancing Dubai's status as a

        role model for global cities and achieving the objectives of the emirate's Food

        Security Strategy.

        Al Hajri said, "During our participation at Gulfood Exhibition, we will showcase

        our efforts in guaranteeing food safety and quality as well as our cutting-edge

        digital services that facilitate import, export, and registration operations for

        food products and shipments. These digital services contribute to enhancing

        the availability of flexible, sustainable, and integrated food supply chains. It

        also enhances our efforts in educating food enterprises, traders, and suppliers

        about the most recent safety standards, food specifications, and

        environmental sustainability, thereby ensuring their implementation."

        Dubai Food Systems Excellence Programme, the most recent initiative to

        recognise the best food establishments in the application of integrated

        standards of food safety, nutrition, environmental sustainability, community

        responsibility, digitisation, and innovation, will be reviewed by the Municipality


        during Gulfood.
        The programme's objectives include consolidating Dubai's position as a major


        hub for global trade, encouraging food businesses to distinguish themselves,

        as well as upholding a sustainable system of food, health, and environment to
