The 5th Annual Future Food Forum 2023, organized by the UAE Food and Beverage Business Group under the auspices of Dubai Chamber of Commerce, is a transformative event aimed at fostering the sustainable wellbeing of the food and beverage manufacturing industry in the MENA region. With a positive outlook for the industry driven by increasing population and per capita disposable income, it is essential to address the changing
consumption patterns and the need for unique and diverse foods to promote health and wellbeing.
To overcome the over-reliance on imported foods that often leads to food shortages and pricing issues, regional food manufacturers must play a significant role. Collaboration between government stakeholders, local manufacturers, and value-added resellers is vital in creating a sustainable food system.
