Albanian companies participate in the Gulfood 2026 fair in Dubai

Eight Albanian companies from the agri-food sector will be part of the 2026 edition of Gulfood, taking place from 26 to 30 January 2026, a major global event that is simultaneously held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre and the Dubai World Trade Centre. This fair, known as one of the largest and most prestigious in the global food and beverage industry, represents an exceptional showcase for the promotion of Albanian products in international markets.
The participation of Albanian companies is made possible thanks to the support of the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), as part of efforts to promote exports, increase competitiveness and support the internationalization of Albanian small and medium-sized enterprises. This support aims to create concrete bridges between Albanian producers and global markets.
Participating companies represent sectors with high export potential, including olive oil, medicinal and aromatic plants, and essential oils. During the fair, they will present the quality, authenticity, and standards of Albanian products to an international audience of importers, distributors, wholesalers, and food industry professionals from over 190 countries.
Participation in Gulfood 2026 opens doors for Albanian companies to B2B meetings, create new trade partnerships and explore high-potential markets, especially in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. At the same time, it contributes to strengthening the image of the “Made in Albania” brand, positioning Albania as a country with authentic, quality and competitive products on the global stage.
Supported by ITC and SECO, this participation is expected to serve as an important driver for the growth of Albanian exports, the expansion of trade networks and the sustainable growth of the presence of Albanian products in international markets.
