Forty three Jordanian firms operating in the food industry will participate in the 18th Gulf International Food Expo which will be held in Dubai next week. The Jordan Exporters Association (JEA) made arrangements for the participation in cooperation with Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation (JEDCO). JEA Chairman Omar Abu Weshah on Saturday said that the Jordanian firms’ participation in the expo for the ninth year comes to enable the exporters meet with dealers and importers from around the world. “The participation aims at helping the Jordanian exporter promote his food products” he added, pointing to the large turnout by Jordanian companies in this international annual gathering.
