It was an incredible honor to be a part of the world's largest food business show, Gulfood - The World’s Largest, Most Trusted F&B Sourcing Event 2024 edition, representing a company that has truly made its mark in the GCC market. For those interested in learning more about this unique and promising market, here are some key insights I can share: 1. The GCC region claims a sizable expatriate population, primarily led by NRIs. It's crucial to carefully plan your positioning strategy, considering which segment you want to target for your product. Different social segments have distinct points of sale, so seeking advice from expats who have lived in the GCC for a significant period can be invaluable. 2. While the GCC market has good potential, it tends to be less receptive to innovation and new product development compared to Western markets. Given the high price sensitivity, the focus of research and development should be on offering a quality product at a competitive price rather than offering a wide range of products. 3. In sectors such as coconut and other agricultural products, there are still opportunities to be explored in the current GCC market. By identifying and listing down the essential items commonly found in Sri Lankan or Indian kitchens that are lacking in GCC markets, you can uncover potential ideas and opportunities. In here, not only the commodity, how you present them; the packaging plays a huge role. For instance, the introduction of ready-to-use coconut milk in Tetra pack packaging serves as a compelling example. I hope you find these few facts helpful and informative.
