Dubai will host four food-production oriented exhibitions and scientific seminars in late April.
The four events take place simultaneously and have some overlapping interest for those associated with the food and agricultural sectors.
The events are: The Agri-Business Expo; the Mideast Poultry Show; the Middle East Flower and Garden Show; and the Middle East Aquaculture and Fishing Show.
They run from 22-25 April 2006 at the Dubai International Exhibition Center.
Agri Business Expo. Middle East is the 10th edition and its goal is to make a contribution in it's own special way by introducing modern technology and equipment to the Middle Eastern region and thereby influencing the development of the agricultural sectorThe event targets the rapidly evolving Agriculture, Floriculture, Horticulture, Irrigation, Animal Husbandry, Poultry and Aquaculture industries, and will be held in Dubai, the business hub of the Middle East.
The Four-In-One exhibition plays a very important role by promoting and networking the varied trade activities of the Middle East market such as date cultivation, farming, landscaping, irrigation systems, green houses, horticulture, fertilizers, agro-chemicals, agricultural and garden tools, coir products, fencing etc., and will also have a special focus on pest control.
The Middle East is undoubtedly one of the biggest consumer markets for poultry products and the show is specifically aimed at promoting the flourishing poultry industry in the region.A number of local and international dairy, poultry and animal feed companies will participate in this event, very much of it was evident in the last show, with a strong emphasis on incubators, farms and hatcheries, humidifiers, state-of-the-art poultry vaccine manufacturing technology, poultry processing and much more.
Last year the show saw tremendous growth, support and representation from all parts of the world. Two well attended Scientific Symposiums were conducted last year by Arab Poultry Breeders (OMMAT) from Saudi Arabia and (Middle East Agriculture Publishers) MEAP from Lebanon.
The Middle East Aquaculture & Fishing Show caters to the vast potential for fishing and fish farming methods being implemented in the Middle East and aims at tapping the same, the slow but steady growth of the event is ample proof that it has been acknowledged as the exhibition most befitting the industry. The innovative exhibition will offer exhibitors an ideal venue to cash in on the unique opportunities.Spanning all aspects of the industry the focus will be on hatcheries, fish farming, fish farming equipment, processing methods such as fish skinning and scaling machines, consultancy and diagnostic services, fish feed, insulated tubs and all fish related activities.
The Floriculture industry in the Middle East has undergone a revolutionary transition into hi-tech growing and distribution. The post-harvest technologies, proper packaging, efficient cool-chain and excellent transportation are the most critical elements in distribution of the flowers from the growers to the ultimate consumer in their freshest forms.
GARDENEX, formerly known as 'Agriflor' is a specialized floriculture event with an emphasis on cut flowers, flower care equipment, flower arrangements and anything to do with flowers. The exhibition is into its 5th year and owes its success to the increased representation and interest of the many countries which are rich with floricultural related industries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Kenya and South Africa, Holland and France, Brazil and Venezuela which now recognize the growing potential of the Middle East Market.
The setting up of the US$ 300 million 'Dubai Flower Centre' as a Free Zone operation, gives a further boost to the event. The excellent infrastructure and world-class cool chain will be very instrumental in transforming Dubai into a specialized and highly efficient redistribution hub.
Feedback from both exhibitors and visitors has prompted GARDENEX go beyond the essentials of Floriculture and embrace all the other related service and product providers which support this industry. This will extend across both commercial and domestic applications. It will seek to encompass tooling and equipment, displays and fixtures, packaging and preservation, leisure (swimming pools), Furniture and general flower care. Plus of course the latest developments in what it takes to be a leader in this fast growing global industry.If you would like to attend or participate in these events please contact: http://www.mideastconsultants.com
