Expo Dubai 2021,
with the slogan “connecting minds, creating the future,” is the ideal
place to reach
the world through proposals made by international organizations and
companies
from 192 countries. The main goal of this expo is to find innovative and
collaborative
alternatives that can open new markets and business agreements,
exploring the interaction of visible agricultural sectors in
Colombia
[EM1]
.
DAABON Group’s
strategy has been to enter foreign markets with high-quality products
such as
palm oil, and fruits like bananas and limes. The potential in the Middle
East
is tremendous, with notable opportunities to create new enterprises in
the
region. For example, this market (comprised of 400 million people) is a
high-influence
zone for Africa and India. In addition, the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
has no
income tax, and its research and development infrastructure is robust
and
cutting edge. All of these advantages are possible thanks to the
political-economical alliance between the government and the private
sector
that has led to the perspective, especially in Bahrein, Kuwait, Oman,
Qatar,
Saudi Arabia and UAE, that petroleum must not be the only source of
income.
Considering the opportunities in this potential
market, it is important to execute a comprehensive and unique business
model
that demonstrates the benefits of a quick and precise response to demand
in
this unique market. At the same time, it is important for DAABON to
continue in
its unwavering commitment to positioning Colombia on the global business
stage;
always highlighting the best of Santa Marta and Colombia.
During 2022 we will
focus our efforts on showing the best of DAABON at the most important
