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

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."

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
