His Excellency Saud Salim Al Mazrouei, Director of SAIF Zone, said, "SIAL Paris 2022 is a key commercial platform for exchanging ideas and getting introduced to the latest developments in food manufacturing as well as communicating with stakeholders amid the huge involvement from across the world. Hence, our participation in this global event comes as part of the authority’s strategy to promote the privileges granted to companies that operate in the food and beverages sector and to attract leading investments to the Emirate of Sharjah in order to promote its position as one of the chief hubs of global food trade. "
"SAIF Zone has always been keen to reformulate its strategic directions in the domain of attracting companies specialized in food manufacturing to meet the UAE's wise leadership's directives in reinforcing national food production, thus achieving the objectives of the National Food Security Strategy 2051 by upgrading the Zone's facilities and infrastructure to meet the requirements of the diversified food and beverage industries and supporting the supply chain of food products.
In addition, there is a wide range of rewarding incentives such as exempting from customs duty, value-added tax and corporate tax in place to contribute to furthering the ambitious plans of the Emirate of Sharjah towards the continuous growth and attracting international companies operating in this vital sector, in which the UAE topped the list of Middle East and North Africa countries and ranked third globally in the 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer, one of the subindexes issued at the beginning of this year by Edelman firm for studies and consultations in the USA", Al Mazrouei added.
SIAL Paris 2022 attracts the most prominent players and experts specializing in food and beverages from over 100 countries to the French capital city for the purpose of exchanging experiences and launching interesting and inspiring dialogues.
