Dubai [UAE], February 18 (ANI/WAM): Dubai Municipality is set to participate in Gulfood 2024, one of the largest food and
beverage exhibitions to be held from 19th to 23rd February at Dubai World Trade Centre, to review its integrated digital programmes
and services aimed at enhancing Dubai's food sector.

The event, which is set to host over 5,500 exhibitors, will serve as an innovative platform for the Municipality to showcase its
relentless efforts to enhance food safety and quality in the emirate of Dubai.

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 improve the quality of life.

Additionally, it targets food outlets in the Emirate of Dubai that are classified as restaurants and snack preparation facilities, including
local restaurants and cafeterias in hotels and public places.
