Buoyed by the third consecutive success and with its propensity to expand, the 4 th edition of the “Middle East Natural and Organic Products Expo” is to be held in an enhanced perspective at a much larger venue, Dubai International Exhibition Center at Dubai World Trade Center from 10 th-12 th December 2006, under the ardent support, patronage and participation by abundant Government ministries, institutions and international associations.

The 100% growth envisioned and achieved in past three editions provides evidence to the success of the show and escalating market for natural and organic products internationally. The growing benefits and popularity of the show coupled with our intensive marketing will ensure the participation from more country pavilions with larger spaces. Over 400 exhibitors are expected to participate in the 2006 show.

The grand participation showcasing the entire gamut of natural and organic products makes it a ‘must attend’ show for international visitors beyond the U.A.E, all Arabian Gulf countries, Middle East, Iran, CIS countries and the Indian sub-continent regions. Thus perched on an international arena, the show is expected to attract over 9000 visitors.

The Organic Products market is fast catching up with the estimated US $ 160 billion global natural products market. Demand for organic products is growing rapidly worldwide. Global structure of government encouraging organic agriculture, food consumption and trade, indicate a clear organic trend. High value low-tech organic agriculture is a win-win situation for everyone involved in organic supply chain from farmer to retailer.

The previous show caused much excitement and interest in the organic inputs, food & drinks along with the natural products. Are we able to benefit from these burgeoning markets?
