Food & Ingredients International October 2022

a single food ecosystem with an agenda that
will shape the future of the manufacturing
industry - amplifying the opportunity
created by the Fourth Industrial Revolution,
and building upon and supporting the
transformation of the country’s industrial sector
into a global manufacturing hub, in line with
the UAE’s ‘Make it in the Emirates’ vision.
Over the three days of the event, Gulfood
Manufacturing 2022 will examine themes of
Sustainability, and advanced Technology
adoption; Nutrition and Efficiency evolution,
and stimulating Innovation, in order to
help organisations reduce costs, grow and
transform. The biggest challenges in global
food production will also be addressed, rising
food prices principal among them. With
food prices having risen by nearly 14% this
year in emerging markets and by over 7% in
advanced economies, inflation - and the
repercussions for the world’s poorest - will be a
key focus area for conversations this year.
