Gulfood 2021, key results

Gulfood 2021 has come to an end. Once again the event proved to be successful and a must-attend in the annual calendar of anybody and any entity involved in the food business worldwide. Exhibitors from 85 countries have the opportunity to meet up with buyers and attendees from 156 countries.

This year, Ovostar has presented our latest product range LIQUID EGG PRODUCTS OVOSTAR ( Pure Pak ). The product range was awarded by the Gulfood Innovation contest. The liquid eggs are presented in a well-designed, eco-friendly carton packaging offering a practical and safe solution for the professional kitchens in the foodservice sector. All products offer the same taste, functionality, and consistency as fresh eggs. Products are thoroughly homogenized and pasteurized. Key advantages are no risk of contamination, longer shelf life, waste-free and convenience for storage due to the compactness of the product.

Gulfood Innovation contest is an annual event where exhibitors might present their new product solutions, launches, tastes, designs, and other food and beverage innovations. The judging panel consists of a diverse profile of handpicked F&B supply-chain professionals. This year awards were announced for such categories as beverages, dairy, baked, organic, meat or poultry, frozen and chilled products. The organizers have dedicated special nominations for Halal products, and innovations that affected food security, health and wellness, and sustainability.

In addition to category relevance to the criteria the judging of the nominations are based on:

• Innovation / Originality / Advancement in the Segment
• Efficiency / Cost Reduction
• Health & Environment
• Customer-Centric

Despite long-lasting COVID-19 restrictions, a lot of Ovostar’s clients from the Middle East & Africa have taken this opportunity to meet with us at the event and discuss business plans during the show.

Head of Export Department, Kurt Rossi: “We participate in Gulfood annually and believe that this event is an important event for any producer who wants to lead the business in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa regions. This year we presented our novelties both in egg products, Pure Pak, and our cage-free in shell product range including free-range and barn eggs. Our company has sold goods in this region for more than a decade. This event is the greatest opportunity to organize meetings with our current clients and start-up new contracts around the region. We see that demand was changed and Covid has fast-tracked this change whereby Customers seek not only regular products but also healthy, sustainable, and quality guaranteed goods. We are proud that both our standard and new products are valued and highly requested in the region.”

Ovostar’s team wishes to extend their thanks to the Kyiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the perfect organization of Ukrainian representation and support members offered to the Ukrainian delegation.
