The official opening of the 10th International Food Industry Exhibition SIAL Middle East 2019 took place today. The exhibition runs from December 9 to December 11 in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).

The organizers note that SIAL Middle East 2019 will bring together over 1,000 exhibitors from 50 countries, including 30 national pavilions, as well as more than 15,000 professional visitors.

The Export Support Center, operating on the basis of the Agency for Development and Investment, organized the participation of four Omsk enterprises on preferential terms: it paid for the rental of exhibition space, individual buildings, as well as the translation of information materials from participants into English and Arabic.

The Emirates are interesting and attractive to Russian companies, and they rank 4th in the ranking of export market prospects conducted by the REC, ahead of China, Belarus and many other countries. Therefore, Omsk entrepreneurs - Omsk Chocolate Factory, Sladonezh, Sibirskaya Belochka and Sladunitsa are interested in developing a new market for their confectionery products.

"At the official opening, the Omsk Region's stand was visited by the Charge d'affaires of Russia in the United Arab Emirates, Yuri Vidakas, and the head of the Russian Trade Mission in the UAE, Ara Melikyan. The honored guests told the participants of the exhibition what kind of product the locals expect, what rates of introductory duties exist for this category of products and wished them productive work at the exhibition," said Elena Builo, Chief Specialist of the Export Support Center.

It should be recalled that these support measures are provided by the Center as part of the implementation of the national projects "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual entrepreneurial initiative", as well as "International cooperation and Export".
