ExpoConnect |PartnerLink
Gulfood 2024 reinforced the global reputation of Ukrainian agriculture
AgriSales implemented by USAID-supported AGRO initiative, proudly celebrated the extraordinary success of its collective presence at Gulfood 2024, held in Dubai, UAE, from February 19 to 23, 2024. This premier food and beverage expo brought together a diverse range of Ukrainian agricultural producers, showcasing the best of the nation's grain, oilseed, and legume industries.
Among the 15 Ukrainian companies represented at the AgriSales booth, Agroleader Europa LLC stood out, securing a landmark deal to export 800 tons of pulses. Additionally, the company finalized 10 new contracts, cementing partnerships for products from the upcoming harvest.
Mover Mill’s participation at Gulfood 2024 was nothing short of transformative. As a leading Ukrainian grain processor, the company captivated international buyers with its premium wheat flour varieties. At the AgriSales booth, Mover Mill showcased two standout products: an all-purpose bakery flour and a high-gluten pizza flour, specially crafted to meet the demands of top-tier bakeries and pizzerias worldwide.
The result? Mover Mill secured new partnerships, including contracts to ship bakery flour to New York bakeries and pizza flour in 50-pound bags to U.S. distributors. These deals not only highlight the trust international buyers place in Ukrainian quality but also mark an important step in expanding Ukrainian agricultural products into the lucrative U.S. market.
