Discover Filipino Excellence in
Dubai, UAE!

The Philippine delegation, as organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), features some of the country’s most enduring and promising food manufacturers and distributors under the FOODPhilippines banner. A total of 19 food MSMEs will be among the more than 5,500 exhibitors, coming from over 120 countries, taking part in the world’s largest gathering for food brands and innovation–Gulfood.

The Philippines, now in its 20th year of participation, will demonstrate the unmatched quality and potential of the country’s unique offerings to today’s global F&B industry. The appetite for Philippine food and ingredients has grown considerably as regions become more open to diverse consumer tastes. In the UAE alone, there are more than 700,000 Filipinos who fuel this demand, alongside a universal call for more sustainable options in the export industry. Fittingly, Gulfood 2025 focuses on fortifying food systems amidst the ever-growing challenges of climate change and food security.

The Philippine delegation is up to the challenge as exhibitors will not only offer signature Filipino favorites and familiar flavors but also showcase their ingenuity with the latest food offerings made from the country’s most viable and natural resources, such as banana, coconut, seafood, and healthy on-the-go products, among others. These efforts form part of the country’s thrust to widen its export range in the Halal food market through the Gulfood network.

As more Philippine exhibitors achieve internationally recognized certifications and innovate their food offerings to cater to broader consumer demographics, the Philippines is on track to establish itself as a major player in the global export market and benefit from the global convenience sector. Valued at an estimated US$ 528 billion in 2023, this sector is expected to cross over US$ 800 billion by 2030.

Visit the Philippine Pavilion in Gulfood 2025, located at Sheikh Rashid Hall, R-154 R-180 of DWTC in Dubai, UAE.

Expect more from the lead export promotion agency, CITEM, as it holds the 18th edition of IFEX Philippines at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City, Philippines from May 22 to 24, 2025.

Participating Exhibitors

From ready-to-eat selections made of premium tropical fruits and seafood to innovative products and locally-sourced ingredients highly adaptable to other cuisines and health needs, see what CITEM has in store at Gulfood 2025 with its FOODPhilippines exhibitors as they continue to solidify the country’s presence in the export value chain.
