Sugar is top Dubai food export in 2008

SUGAR and confectionery ranked at the top (37%) of the list of Dubai food exports, which hit a total of Dh3.5 billion ($953 million) traded last year, according to recent figures from Dubai Export Development Corporation. Dubai also re-exported Dh4.1 billion worth of food products in 2008. In a new move to encourage more local businesses to export food products around the world, Dubai Municipality will be hosting an "International Buyer's Centre" at Sweets Middle East, which takes place from November 2 to 4 at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The exhibition is organised by Dubai World Trade Centre in conjunction with Koelnmesse, organiser of leading confectionery show ISM. In addition to the new International Buyers Centre, Dubai Municipality is also helping to organise a workshop on 'Understanding Food Trade Regulations in Dubai' to provide further support and guidance to the hundreds of international companies who will be showcasing their latest products at the show.Shop Women's Boots
