Overview
RNG Agro Exports will exhibit at Gulf Food 2026, the world largest annual food and beverage trade show, scheduled for 16-20 February 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Now in its 31st edition, Gulf Food drew 5,500+ exhibitors and 1,28,000 buyers from 190 countries in 2025, with the Indian pavilion alone hosting 240+ companies. Visitors can meet the RNG team at Hall S3, Stand E-42 — the dedicated Indian Rice & Cereals zone.
Why Gulf Food Matters for Indian Exporters
The GCC accounts for 38% of India basmati exports and 22% of spice exports by value. Gulf Food has historically been the single largest deal-origination event for Indian agri-shippers — exhibitors reported USD 1.9 billion in on-floor contracts at Gulf Food 2025. For RNG, the show is a chance to consolidate Saudi, UAE and Kuwait contracts ahead of Q3 procurement cycles, and to open new conversations with African and Eastern European importers who use Dubai as a sourcing hub.
What We Are Showcasing
The RNG stand will feature live samples and tasting bars for: 1121 Pusa Basmati (sella, raw, steam), 1509 Premium Basmati, Sharbati Wheat, Yellow Maize, Sesame Hulled & Natural, Turmeric Finger & Powder, Coriander Whole, and Cumin. We will also unveil our new APEDA-Gold-tagged Cleanline range — DNA-certified basmati with sub-0.009 ppm tricyclazole, packed in EU-retail-ready 1kg and 5kg formats. B2B buyers can schedule pre-booked meetings via the link below.
