Dubai: A 14-member Malaysian delegation is set to participate in the upcoming Sea Food Expo 2009, the region’s only dedicated seafood event, which is slated to run from October 12 to 14 at the Madinat Arena Conference Hall.
The country’s participation is also aimed at increasing the value of Malaysia’s overall fish and fishery exports to the Middle East, according to Infofish, an intergovernmental organisation that provides marketing information and technical advisory services to the fishery industry of the Asia-Pacific region.
With high profile participants set to stage an extensive presence at the event, Orange Fair & Events, the event organisers, revealed that the show continues to strengthen Dubai’s image as the best destination to promote halal seafood products in the Middle East market.
With an estimated 10 to 15 tonnes of seafood being sold in the Dubai fish market daily, the seafood trade here continues to thrive amid the current recession.
Dubai’s expatriate community and its hospitality sector make the emirate an excellent hub for halal seafood imports and exports from across the globe.
