Exporting Your Food or Beverage Product to Dubai
As one of the ten largest oil producers in the world, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) represents one of the wealthiest countries in the Middle East. The high volume of oil and natural gas production has created vast wealth in Dubai, the largest city in the UE. The income growth for residents has led to higher demand for organic food and beverage products from the US. As a better-for-you brand from the USA, how does your company export your food or beverage product to Dubai?
Trying to enter an overseas market often turns out to be a logistical nightmare. From understanding customs to tariff fees, gaining access to international customers can be a logistical nightmare. Although entering a European market such as Belgium or Finland presents several obstacles, it is even more challenging to reach customers living in a Middle East city such as Dubai. Part of the difficulty entering the Dubai market stems from the strict standards on imported food and beverage products. Another obstacle is learning about the diet restrictions that make several organic food and beverage products from the US off-limits for UAE consumers.
Until 2010, international brokers helped US natural food and beverage brands gain access to Middle Eastern markets such as Dubai. In 2023 and beyond, the answer to growing sales in Dubai depends on maximizing the power of a revolutionary eCommerce platform.
How Does the Grovara eCommerce Platform Help My Brand Reach Dubai Consumers?
Working with international brokers to enter the Dubai market requires considerable time. A long flight and extended hotel stay can rack up travel bills that cost thousands of dollars just for one trade show. In addition to dealing with international brokers, you have the option to attend trade shows located in Dubai, which is located halfway around the world from virtually every city in the USA.
The Grovara eCommerce platform is a virtual trade show that allows you to start conversations with Dubai buyers from the comfort of your home and office.
After registering to join the Grovara eCommerce platform, you spend up to 30 days completing a free onboarding process to learn about how to use the many tools that we offer better-for-you brands from the US and a few select brands outside of the USA that we have recently recruited to join our eCommerce platform. In addition to learning how to use a tool like Pallet Builder, your brand also benefits from a streamlined export documentation process. A Middle East city such as Dubai requires a considerable amount of export paperwork to be filed before a brand from the USA receives approval to sell wellness products.
Grovara ensures your company quickly registers your product in the UAE and clears every type of customs compliance.
We remind every brand that joins the Grovara eCommerce platform that you control how your company benefits by using our self-service digital tools.
The Grovara eCommerce platform offers hundreds of healthy food and beverage products from dozens of companies in the USA and a few countries outside the US. Here is a small sample of the highly-regard brands that have joined the Grovara eCommerce platform.
