Coffee, tea industry products to go on show in Dubai

DUBAI, February 24, 2015

Top coffee and tea industry brands, products and equipment will be showcased at a dedicated trade event for the industry in the Arab World in November in Dubai, UAE.

The seventh edition of the International Coffee and Team organised by International Conferences and Exhibitions, will run from November 11 to 13 at The Meydan Gallery and Convention Centre.

The UAE has registered nearly 2,200 new café licenses in the last two years, while more than 90 in-shop and large-scale coffee roasters are planning to open for business in the next 24 months, said a statement.

The country’s traditional coffee culture and an expanding tea market complement increasing investment in the café, coffee and tea businesses estimated to be worth between $350 million and $400 million, it said.

Regional and international producers and manufacturers will get the opportunity to break into the market and secure a part of the Middle East’s multi-billion dollar hot beverage industry.

Ryan Godinho, UAE’s National Liaison for World Coffee Events and Special Events coordinator (Training and Championships) with the International Coffee & Tea Festival, said: “The festival will be back again to address the challenges and strengths of the region’s growing coffee and tea industry. Only through exposure and competition will the quality of product and delivery improve.

“We need to more than double our efforts in bringing products that are constantly evolving as a result of ongoing research and development within this sector, into the region. Within the foreseeable future, Dubai will play a more active role in the world of coffee and tea.”  

“The Coffee & Tea Festival will also continue to focus on the career advancement of people working within the tea and coffee industry and at the same time provide entrepreneurs a platform to explore business opportunities within this lucrative industry,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
