I look forward to being back in the UAE for Gulfood - The World’s Largest, Most Trusted F&B Sourcing Event Global Victoria will be part of #TeamAustralia Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) lounge at Stand no. S-K43 and of course we will have some world class Victorian companies along including ST. ALi Coffee Roasters Bulla Dairy Foods Tender Meat sp. z o.o. Burra Foods Australia MEB Foods #Ausfresh #Growinfresh Some fun facts about our industry: Victoria is the nation’s premier state for food and fibre exports, reaching a record high of $19.6 billion (up 7%) in 2022-23. This accounts for 24% of the national total. Our food and beverage manufacturing sector is the largest in Australia and employs more than 77,000 people. We have a global reputation for high quality, clean, safe and sustainable produce. Victoria is the nation’s biggest exporter by value in a range of key industries including #dairy and #horticulture. The #UAE is in our top ten export markets by value worth $693 million (up 36%). The MENA region represents 8% of market share. Exports to MENA increased over 35% in 2023, with demand for dairy, wheat and meat in the UAE 🇦🇪 helping drive growth and a return to pre pandemic market share. See you there 👋🏼 Lamia Damerje, MDY Louise Osborne Global Victoria Agriculture Victoria Jai Jackson-Jin Najib Lawand Alexia M. Mireya Cruells Léonore Marteville Anne Hiag Madelaine Sexton
