United Arab Emirates: Successful Participation at NRA Show 2017

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Foreign Agricultural Service Office in Dubai (FAS Dubai) recruited nine potential food and beverage buyers representing seven major food importing companies based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to attend the National Restaurants Association Show (NRA) in Chicago this year. Eight representatives completed the evaluation survey and reported a total of $8.75 million increase in projected U.S. food imports over the next 12 months as a result of their visit to the show. This increase is a testament to the demand for U.S. food products from UAE consumers. FAS Dubai recruited buyers were keen on attending the NRA show to see new trends, innovative products and find new U.S. suppliers.
