Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev attended the Gulfood 2025 International Exhibition of food, beverages, equipment for the hotel, restaurant and culinary businesses, which is taking place in the United Arab Emirates. He viewed the Russian exhibition and noted that agro-industrial partnership with the Gulf countries was of strategic nature.
“Russia supplies basic agricultural products that ensure food security for the Gulf countries. We are interested in further strengthening cooperation. Last year, trade of agricultural products and food between Russia and the United Arab Emirates increased by 30 percent, while Russian exports also increased by 30 percent,” Dmitry Patrushev said.
In January 2025, trade with the UAE doubled compared with the same period last year. Russia usually supplies grain and legumes, meat products to the UAE, including halal products that meet all standards. There is great potential for expanding the range of exports of meat, dairy products, and soft drinks.
“Russian manufacturers’ participation in the Gulfood exhibition helps strengthen the country’s position as a reliable trading partner for the Middle East countries. I am confident that Russian manufacturers will be able to sign promising contracts here and expand the sales markets for their products,” Dmitry Patrushev stressed.
Russian agricultural products have been presented at the Gulfood international exhibition for the tenth time. This year, about 150 domestic manufacturers of grain, oil and fat, meat, dairy products, fish and seafood, as well as other food products in-demand abroad, are exhibiting there.
