Ammon News - Jordan’s pavilion at the Gulfood 2021 Exhibition, the region's biggest food and beverage packaging industry event currently held in Dubai, witnessed a remarkable turnout, said Chairman of the Jordanian Exporters Association, Ahmed Khudari.

In a statement on Tuesday, Khudari gave a run down on the visitors’ wide interest in having a first-hand-look at the Jordanian products, noting that many local companies managed, through the exhibition, to gain access to new export markets and seal commercial partnerships with international suppliers.

"Triggered by the all-time high container shipping rates from China, the demand on Jordanian industrial products has significantly increased," he added, pointing to the considerable developments of national products.

Jordanian companies participating in the exhibition represent sectors of packaging, machinery, raw materials, industrial additives, sweets, dates, nuts, coffee, chocolate, snacks and Dead Sea products.

The 2021 edition of the exhibition brings together 1,250 exhibitors from 55 countries to showcase the latest smart innovations in the field of food manufacturing.
