Cooperfrigu Foods participated in the 23rd edition of Gulfood Fair, from February 18 to 22nd in Dubai. The exhibition brings together the largest buyers and sellers of food in the Arab market in general.

For more than 20 years, Cooperfrigu Foods has been in this market, and for the tenth consecutive year, participating with its booth and serving customers throughout the Arab world, with the support of Apex-Brazilian Beef.

“We have been present in this important market for more than 20 years, the quality of the meat that we produce as always, is the differential of Cooperfrigu. We value the participation in this fair, because the Arab market today corresponds to 40% of all exports of our Cooperative. Gulfood does not only serve the Gulf, but also the North African countries such as Egypt and Algeria, as well as the Arab markets in Asia, such as Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia,” said Export Director of Cooperfrigu Foods, José João Stival Júnior.

The export director spoke of the importance of these markets. “They are countries where we have been doing a lot of business for a long time, we have a well-known and trustworthy brand, we care a lot about quality, because Cooperfrigu’s main focus for this region is chilled meat, that demands the highest level of our meat and today the main end customers are supermarkets, resorts and luxury hotels, “he said.

In this edition, Gulfood received more than 5,000 exhibitors presenting products in 8 sectors of the primary market. Representing Cooperfrigu Foods were, export Director José João Stival Júnior, Commercial assistant Frederico Rodrigues and Operational assistant, Veronica Kalganova.
