Uniting three brands into one event, this speciality food and equipment trade show attracts more than 15,000 buyers from over 100 countries for three days of events, awards, experiences and more, all creating the MENA region’s premier gourmet and artisanal food event.



With 2019 marking its 10th anniversary, the festival is ideal for food traders, wholesalers, importers, retailers and service professionals.



Each brand adds different flavours to the mix. The Speciality Food Festival, for example, hosts around 130 exhibitors under six sectors: artisanal & gourmet; organic & fresh; fair trade & ethnic; bakery & cereals; nuts, seeds & dried fruits and speciality beverages. It also features highlights such as the Global Date Market, the Young Chefs Hotel Challenge and Chefs’ Theatre – a chance to watch Michelin and celebrity chefs create cutting-edge cuisine in a bustling festival environment.



Yummex will feature its ME Innovation Awards, recognising the most innovative products in the worlds of chocolate, candy, bakery and snacks. Visitors can also witness the Yummex Gelato Campus, an immersive, multisensory experience onsite at the show.



Seafex completes the ‘all under one roof’ offering through a range of exciting trade events showcasing seafood.
