Amman, Sept. 3 (Petra) -- Around 200 local, Arab and foreign companies specializing in food manufacturing will begin participating on Friday in the fourth edition of the International Food and Food Tech Exhibition, held at the Amman International Motor Show on the Airport Road.
The three-day exhibition, organized by Nabd International for Exhibitions and Conferences, focuses on food security, technological challenges and solutions in food manufacturing, production-line automation, supply-chain sustainability and regional food security.
The exhibition brings together specialists in food and beverage industries and food manufacturing technology from Jordan and abroad, as well as official decision-makers and international organizations concerned with the food industry. Companies from 25 Arab and foreign countries, in addition to Jordan, are participating.
Exhibiting companies represent sectors including food and beverages, dairy and meat products, frozen foods, food ingredients and additives such as spices, flavors and nutrients, manufacturing equipment, packaging, cold chains, technology solutions, food services and hospitality. The exhibition will also feature developments and innovations in food manufacturing, equipment, and packaging-related technologies.
According to the organizer, the exhibition aims to highlight the importance of food manufacturing and developments in the sector, particularly following global crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which demonstrated the importance of expanding and localizing food industries and making use of agricultural products and crops available in Jordan.
Anoud Jarrar, General Manager of Nabd International, said the exhibition provides an opportunity for Jordanian companies to meet counterparts from participating countries and to connect Jordanian agricultural producers and food industry workers with potential importers in regional markets, particularly neighboring countries such as Palestine, Syria and Iraq.
She said the fourth edition was organized following the outcomes of previous editions and amid interest from food manufacturers in keeping pace with developments and introducing food manufacturing technology in line with quality requirements and international specifications.
A conference on smart food manufacturing and food security will also be held alongside the exhibition, bringing together academic researchers, chief executives in the manufacturing sector, decision-makers and technology innovators to link scientific research with industrial applications.
The exhibition covers an area of 11,000 square meters and will be open throughout its three-day run from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission will be free for business owners.
