Do you belong to a company against obesity?
THE World Health Organisation says “obesity nearly tripledbetween 1975 and 2016” worldwide, and we know this to be a result of unhealthy eating habits or poor choices in food, coupled with inadequate physical exercise.
Much has changed since 1975, obviously, and now it’s easier to gain weight. Back then, home-cooking was the norm; today, its convenience. We’re practically surrounded by restaurants, markets, 24-hour convenience stores, and vending machines. But it doesn’t necessarily mean we are surrounded by healthy food. It takes effort to seek, purchase, prepare and then stick to a nutrientdense, low-calorie diet. Isn’t it faster to grab a packaged product and go back to our computers?
But then again with the growing health concerns associated with bad diets, surveys show consumers are realising the need to go back to the discipline of healthy eating. Innova Market Insights coined it “mindful choices.” In fact most trends in 2018 point to consumption of simpler and more natural foods and products.
In its website, the UN agency also recommends the food industry to help promote heathier diets by: reducing the fat, sugar and salt content of processed foods; ensuring that healthy and nutritious choices are available and affordable to all consumers; restricting marketing of foods high in sugars, salt and fats, especially those foods aimed at children and teenagers; and by ensuring the availability of healthy food choices and supporting regular physical activity practice in the workplace.
How far has the industry gone to meet these recommendations?


Have you ever told someone: If my production is running efficiently without IoT, why should I adopt it now? Fair question. But if you could make your production run more efficiently –would you think twice in adopting IoT?
The food and beverage industry has yet to get used to the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT) being a part of everyday processes. There’s always some resistance to adopting new technology when there’s insufficient knowledge about it, or if cost is an issue. According to experts, IoT can help bring down cost, enhance product quality and safety, track and trace products in transit, and so on. Being able to prevent production issues before they occur is a giant leap in efficiency. That’s just one of the benefits. Cutting waste is another. To know more, read our report on how IoT is changing the food and beverage sector.
Also in this issue, we give you a market overview of Iran and Turkey, two of the fastest developing food and beverage markets in the region.
On the cover, we feature sweet confections to highlight the development of new ingredients that enhance the quality of chocolate,  onfectionery and snacks.

Food fortification
ANYWHERE in the world, there remain nutritional challenges to be addressed although much has been accomplished by the combined efforts of governments, organizations, and industry, to deal with malnutrition. Industry continues to play its role in stemming problems related to nutrition and health, but evidently much more must be done. In the Middle East, food fortification tackles inadequate intake of vitamin A and D, and iron. Read the report on page 9.
In this issue, read an overview of the Saudi Arabia food and beverage market which continues to grow and attract new as well as popular brands, one of them, Barilla. According to this report by Zainab Mansoor, the country’s food service sales in 2016 was estimated to reach $8.88 billion, or close to half of the GCC’s.
In boardroom connection, get to know more about Boncafe Middle East, a one-stop shop for coffee and equipment in Dubai.

Loaded with new product information. WE’RE all interested in what’s new, so this issue brings you the latest products for the food and beverage industry. Among packaging innovations are a metal can design that allows users to fill dry products through the base of the can and seam on a non-easy-open end without having to make changes to the filling line; vacuum skin films for enhanced on-shelf presentation; and a continuous ink jet printing system for those that require only up to two lines of printed text, graphics and barcodes as well as images from 2mm to 12mm on their products.
Snack manufacturers may be interested in a continuous potato chip fryer with several features including patented technology to ensure evenly fried potato slices. It also limits the formation of acrylamides and reduces the amount of rejects.
For companies that process powders, consider the new vertical dryer claimed to reduce cycle times.
We also feature hoists and cranes that can be used in dustladen atmospheres or other explosion-hazardous areas such as the chemical manufacture and processing environments.
Last but not least, on health and nutrition. Get to know Organic Press, a company in Dubai that makes cold-pressed juice. In the outlook section, we give you some data on sports nutrition. 
There’s more including products to be showcased in Gulfood Manufacturing, and the latest in functional ingredients.

COMPANIES are getting ready for the MEASA’s key trade show, Gulfood Manufacturing taking place from 7-9 November 2016. This show attracts around 35,000 visitors from the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, looking to upgrade processes for better cost efficiency and sustainability, and to taste the latest ingredients and additives for product development.  About 1,500 local and international exhibitors will introduce their region-appropriate raw materials and ingredients, packaging equipment, and processing solutions. So, I take this opportunity to wish all participants the best at this event.

In the pages of this September issue, you will find tried-and-tested packaging and processing solutions that will be showcased at the Gulfood event. Read about how these solutions have boosted the efficiency of their customers.

We also feature technologies that will one day soon be ready to improve snack processing, food preparation, as well as quality testing (see research on p12 and quality & safety on p26), and new products and services to make your own business even better.

According to the World Trade Organization, imports to Iran accounted for some US$12.695 billion in 2014, while exports reached $5.564 billion. The opportunities to boost trade with Iran continue to grow as economic sanctions have been lifted this year.Ireland for one, is prepared to increase its business in Iran where it recently sent a trade mission. According to Bord Bia, Ireland’s food board, the country’s exports to Iran in 2015 reached €3.6 million for products like juices, butter, prepared foods, and meat.Iran is a big importer of many food and beverage products such as meat, non-alcoholic beverages, dairy, fruit and vegetables, cereal, curd, confectionery, grains as well as ready meals. For more developments in the country’s food industry, read our report on page 8. 

TURKISH delights were dancing in my head while I was going over this month’s article on Turkey’s food and beverage market. But I have yet to savor an authentic one.
With over 78 million consumers, Turkey is indeed an attractive market, so we bring you the latest industry stats in market snapshot.
It was a real treat putting together this issue. Aside from Turkish food, there’s Italian truffle. If truffle oil, butter, caviar and carpaccio are your thing, then do get in touch with the Truffle Man himself Massimo Vidoni in Dubai. We have his details in boardroom connection.
From South Australia, the company Greenwheat Freekeh is expanding its market for freekeh, which comes from a nutritious grain called greenwheat. With freekeh, you can add potassium, calcium, fiber and other nutrients to everyday meals like salads, cereal, and baked goods. Read about it in ingredients.
For the first time, we speak to Brazil’s chocolate and confectionery organization, ABICAB, which has a membership of 90 companies including Peccin and Nugali. ABICAB and its members have been actively participating in trade shows both in the Middle East and in Europe. Interesting interviews with these companies are in dialogue.
Finally, one for every company to read is the success story of Saudi Arabia’s beverage giant, Al-Rabie, which together with King-Casey, repositioned its brand to enjoy even greater sales. In focus, know why and how you can give your brand a boost.
So are Turkish delights, Brazilian candy, freekeh dancing in your head now?

Food and beverage fortification
NEEDLESS to say, health and nutrition trends are starting to drive more new product developments in the Middle East and Africa which face their share of over- and undernutrition issues.
A product that has been formulated with an ingredient or ingredients that can provide some health-giving component is viewed with more regard by end-consumers, and the company that formulates it gains the consumer s trust.
In this issue, Hans Schinck of Corbion Purac writes an article on fortifying beverages with calcium, one of the main benefits of which is to fight osteoporosis.
Also for better bones, Gelita highlights its many collagen peptide products for stronger ligaments and joints.
Other fortification updates in this issue include Nestlé South Africa’s successful addition of morogo, a nutritious green leafy vegetable found in Africa, to one of the world’s most popular snacks, instant noodles.


New products and solutions for all
THROUGHOUT this issue, we feature products from companies participating at Gulfood Manufacturing in Dubai this month. This exhibition which showcases food ingredients, processing and packaging technologies and cold chain logistics, welcomed 26,329 trade professionals when in launched last year.
On another topic, our correspondent Iza Grek visits a pasta factory in South Africa that produces various types of fresh and dry pasta, including gluten-free versions, for the local market.
Also in this issue, we sidetrack to music and its influence on food preparation. In fact, many studies have been made on this subject matter. Does music – or the absence of it – have an effect on the way chefs, bartenders, and everyone else involved in food preparation, develop or season their creations?


What it takes to grow in the snack food and beverage markets
EVERYONE’s on the go these days and the food industry is doing extremely well in keeping pace with consumer eating habits. On-to-go food products are not only growing in number but expanding in choice of ingredients and flavors, and packaging designs. And of course, consumers always prefer their snacks healthy and nutritious.
In Dubai, one of the major producers of quality snacks is Hunter Foods Limited FZCO which has a wide range of popular brands and a very strong private label business. In boardroom connection, managing director Ananya Narayan speaks of the company as an innovator that steers clear of the beaten path. And that is leading to their continued success.
In the beverage sector, soft drinks and bottled/mineral waters enjoy robust growth. In the GCC alone, the number of manufacturers rose from 231 in 2010 to 318 in 2014, according to the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting (GOIC). While in Africa, the soft drinks market continues to hold promise for beverage companies. The merging of Coca-Cola and SAB Miller beverage operations in the region last year is telling enough.
How can smaller manufacturers of ready-to-drink products improve their chances in this burgeoning market? The DrinkTech Africa conference held on June 24 alongside Africa’s Big Seven provided attendees with clear-cut recommendations. The answers may not be new to you, but if you want to know what presenters from Distell, Oasis Water and many others had to say, then you can flip to page 9 for our special report.


They walk the talk
IN THIS ISSUE, two resource speakers at the World Food Security Summit (Gulfood 2015), namely Amin Khayyal, general manager at DuPont in the UAE, and Alex Smith, the founder of UK-based Alara WholeFoods, share their company’s role in promoting food security and sustainability.
Alara, featured in boardroom connection is a company of many firsts – first to produce organic muesli in the UK and the first manufacturer in the world to achieve Zero Waste. Mr Smith says he also aims for Alara to become the first most sustainable manufacturer in the world.
DuPont has always been a supporter of food security and sustainable practices. These are detailed in special report.
In Nigeria, the Harvard-educated founders of AACE Food Processing & Distribution set up the company in 2009 to address some of the country’s major concerns: malnutrition, food waste, and reliance on imports. The company does so by manufacturing nutritious food products with fresh produce purchased from smallholder farmers, and is helping to displace imported products. More on AACE in dialogue.


The lure of Morocco
THIS issue updates you on interesting markets such as Morocco, a country known for spices, seafood, as well as fresh produce, grains and cattle. In market snapshot, find out what food & beverage processing pportunities await you in this ‘kingdom’ in North Africa.
For the first time, we feature a beverage manufacturer from Madagascar in boardroom connection. A young company with big dreams for the country, HavaMad is not just about delivering goods, but helping to grow the local beverage industry.
On healthy ingredients, we choose to highlight the latest product from Hydrosol, which are compounds that boost the meat qualities of vegetarian products, and Ulrick & Short’s new range of fat reducers that can replace portions of cream, butter and oil in most foods such as white sauces and cakes.


Food industry in Iran and Nigeria
TO MOST of the world, Iran is associated with its nuclear programme more than with its high-quality pistachios and caviar, two of the country’s major food products. Sanctions imposed on Iran as a result of its non-compliance with UN demands, are indirectly impacting the way locals are choosing their food purchases as well. But under the circumstances, Iran has been able to improve food security and continue exports with neighbouring countries. Read more in market snapshot.
Also in this issue, we feature Nigeria’s food industry, a promising sector that is benefiting from much needed government reforms designed to improve business conditions. The country has a population of over 174 million – the largest in Africa – and an emerging middle class that is driving demand for better but affordable products, including processed foods.
In the GCC, the trend toward healthier eating has moved from simply consuming products that are low in sugar, sodium, and fat, to organically produced food. An interest in gluten-free products is also developing, according to interviewees in our outlook report.
In boardroom connection, we put the spotlight on Mbugua Ngugi, managing director, Kenya Nut Company, a producer of macadamia and cashew nuts in Nairobi.


New products,solutions and networking
NEXT month, thousands will flock to two new trade exhibitions in the GCC.
Gulfood 2014 was one of the most successful editions, that a spin-off is taking place also in the same year. This is Gulfood Manufacturing, another important event in Dubai, particularly for those in the equipment, logistics and cold chain industries.
Also in November, manufacturers and suppliers targeting the GCC’s most populous state will participate in Foodex Saudi in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This exhibition, only on its second year, will be more expansive in terms of product categories, ranging from food ingredients and finished products to packaging and processing equipment.
In South Africa, the international food and beverage festival, IFEA, will be another good venue to source new products, learn from the experts not only about the industry, but on import-export business in Africa. For more on these trade shows, read our previews.
In feature, we provide you an overview of Oman’s food industry, where opportunities lie in the seafood and agricultural sectors.
Our featured company in boardroom connection is Raka Cheese from Kenya. Learn why Rajesh and Kalpa Padia ventured in cheese-making more than 10 years ago, and how Raka has grown to become a leader in the business in a country that is not exactly a land of cheese lovers.


Why waste?
THE IMAGE you see is a sticker from Save Food. It is simple design that reminds me that the fate of the world rests partly in our hands.
Waste reduction is a major trend in the food and beverage industry, meaning it is now a driving force in the way manufacturers are expected to design, develop, produce and sell their products. Reducing waste in food production is not a new concept, of course, and many companies have had good practices in place for decades. But the emphasis is more pronounced now than ever because food, fresh water and energy sources are scarcer, whilst the world population grows, landfills accumulate, and the volume of carbon emissions continues to rise.
To some people, saving food and cutting waste is instinctive and a way of life. Some manufacturers and consumers are wiser than others in waste management, but these days, is there really an excuse not to be greener? The options to cut waste are numerous because modern equipment and processes are designed to work more efficiently. One thing I’ve learned in life. There’s always a better way to do things even when things are running smoothly.
In one of his articles, Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, says that his company is looking into how to reduce waste in in-flight meals. And he poses this question: “What changes could you make to your business or household to change the culture of food waste?” Something to think about, and maybe the answer is in the pages of this issue.


Metal packaging
LAST month at the interpack exhibition in Germany, the benefits of metal packaging were recapped in a full programme hosted by the European Metal Packaging (EMPAC) from 8-13 May. The association presented specialists from the industry to speak on new initiatives, sustainability as well as the advantages of metal for both retailers and consumers. In this issue, Crown Food Packaging North America shares results from various research on why demand for metal cans remains high. In a related report, South African companies including Nampak Bevcan, Hulamin, South African Breweries, and Coca-Cola Southern Africa, have begun their conversion from tin-lined steel to aluminium cans for beverages. See reports in packaging.
Also in this issue, Rafi-uddin Shikoh, managing director of DinarStandard opens up on the global Halal market and on Dubai’s growing participation in this sector, in special report.
In boardroom connection, Simon Gottfried, general manager of Basateen Foods Saudi Arabia, the brand owners of Mazola products in the region, talks about the company’s development of healthier products, amongst which is Mazola’s range of awardwinning flavoured mayonnaise.
In dialogue, founders of Qi Juices, Hana Alireza and Leila Fakih Nashabe, share the beginnings of their organic fresh juice company, which is also a first in Lebanon.
Other interesting topics in this issue include the new salmon pen designed and manufactured by John Rafferty of Elemental Manufacturing Pty Ltd, and robotics designed for efficient farming.

Back to the farms
IN THIS ISSUE, we focus on Africa where untapped resources are high but food security continues to be a menacing issue. As you know, 2014 has been declared the Year of Agriculture and Food Security by the African Union. It has set impressive targets of one day seeing Africa produce its own food and becoming a net food exporter. It has even targeted zero hunger by 2025. Perhaps lofty, given the current situation and the challenges that food companies face such as storage, infrastructure, and other logistical difficulties. But wasn’t it John F. Kennedy who said that ambitions wouldn’t be ambitions if they weren’t lofty? Whether or not Africa can accomplish its goals by then, the important thing is that governments now are initiating more programmes to accelerate agriculture, particularly in the sub-Saharan region.

A matter of attitude
FOOD security in the GCC may not be within reach, but ensuring adequate food availability is the name of the game – and it is not an easy game even for the richest of countries. To be dependent on outside sources for food requirements also means being open to the political, economic and environmental issues that may impact these sources. To gain some selfsufficiency, GCC countries with the capability to develop their own food supply, are investing in more sustainable food projects. One that we highlight in this issue is Qatar’s efforts to produce crops with the expertise of the Sahara Forest Project AS.
Our interview with Nicholas Lodge of Clarity Economic Consultancy in Abu Dhabi further describes the present food security situation in the region. One of the things he echoes is the fact that whilst attempting at self-sufficiency is well and good, reducing food waste is a critical part of the food security solution. Making a conscious effort to save food is expected.
Also in this issue, we take a look at the packaging and processing solutions helping major companies of dairy, snacks and conserves.
Another article of interest explains how the shape of food can influence the way consumers perceive its taste. This article makes the example of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate bar which underwent a slight reshaping. The unsolicited feedback from the chocolate’s patrons well explains a long-held theory.

Marching on to 2014
THE MIDDLE EAST and Africa are two of the most important markets for the food and beverage industry. Trends that we saw this year will continue into 2014, with greater emphasis on producing for the needs of the middle class – convenience foods, healthier options and speciality products. For the African market, products are better offered in smaller portions and packaging for affordability. Africa in particular also needs partners to grow its food and agricultural sector to the fullest, according to Rabobank. The region’s potential has not yet been fully tapped, and the Bank is encouraging global food companies to further their engagement with local suppliers and manufacturers.
Our outlook report has further insights from Nestlé, Mondelēz, PepsiCo, The Majlis Dubai, Almarai, and other companies in the GCC.
Also in this issue, we have the latest in water treatment solutions from LANXESS and Global Water Engineering. We also feature the French supplier of plant-based ingredients, Naturex, which recently joined the SATiety INnovation (SATIN) project in the fight against obesity; Marmum Dairy Farm, one of the UAE's “superbrands”; and projects being undertaken by the research-for-development organisation Bioversity International.

Trends in snacks and packaging
This issue covers several aspects of snacks and convenience foods, from flavour trends to new processing methods. Our special report takes a look at how snack food companies in 

South Africa are dealing with high input costs. Executives from Source Handmade Foods, Mondelēz South Africa, and Snack Seasonings, as well as packaging company, Fima Films 

share their thoughts. Also in this section, we introduce Biozoon Food Innovations, a German-based company that has been given EU funding to develop enzymatic and fermentation 

processes and other biotechnological methods to reduce sugar, fat, and salt in ready-to-eat foods.
Al Nassma Chocolate LLC, the maker of high-end camel milk chocolates from Dubai, raised the ante this year by opening the Majlis Dubai milk café. In beverage, learn more about 

this company from Sales director, Patrick Dorais.
We also feature A’Saffa Foods S.A.O.G., a wellknown manufacturer of fresh and frozen products in the Sultanate of Oman. It offers a diverse range of products including 

poultry, meat, seafood, and fruit and vegetables, as well as bottled mineral water. Our interview with Sidhartha Lenka, head of Marketing and Sales, reveals more in boardroom 

connection.
In September, a number of companies introduced the latest equipment at the PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Drinktec 2013. We highlight some of them in this issue. One is SIPA’s XTREME 

moulding machine, seen on the cover.
Aside from these, don’t miss the latest news on ingredients, processing and trade shows.

Raising the ante in packaging

THE Sidel Matrix graces our cover for this issue. Sidel calls it its ‘most powerful set of solutions yet’ for the beverage industry. Some companies that have installed the system are Niagara Bottling, a supplier of bottled water in the US, and Spumador, a producer of carbonated drinks and bottled water in Italy. Learn about this new equipment in packaging. 
For manufacturers of baked goods, we highlight dough enhancers in ingredients and the latest packaging for baked snacks. These packaging designs will be launched at Pack EXPO Las Vegas in September. 
In boardroom connection, Kellogg’s consultant nutritionist Kathryn O’Sullivan talks about the company’s health and wellness drive and future expansion in the GCC, for breakfast cereals and snacks. Also in the region, consumption of flavoured milk is rising. We feature major milk companies in our special
report. 
Many companies are interested in Africa as a market for food and beverage. In feature, we continue to inform you on the state of East Africa. Currently, it imports
95% of food from outside the continent, and local food companies are growing at 18% per annum. In research, we highlight a report from the Wildlife Conservation
Society, on a new approach to help the beef industry in southern Africa, without endangering wildlife and wildlife tourism.

Transforming Africa

THIS issue goes Africa hopping, from the farms of South Africa to the tea plantations of Kenya and Rwanda. We also explore Tanzania’s development and its trade partnership with China.
Featured in sourcing guide, Tanzania has a fastgrowing economy and is clearly on the road to a better future if government will continue along its current direction. Whilst Tanzanians thirst for good brands, it is important to note that the majority can afford only lowcost products.
In Kenya and Rwanda, the tea fields have been blessed with early rain, helping to perk up output in the first quarter of this year. Not wanting to be left out, the Mozambique government has expressed its intent to revive hectares of tea plantations with the help of tea expert, India. See beverage for trends.
Meanwhile, the agricultural output of South Africa is generally doing well as reported in market snapshot. But every year its population is also growing at about 2%. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that the country has to double its output and imports to support local consumption.
Africa is facing a lot of changes, and is seeing much attention from all sides of the globe. The Africa Global Business Forum held in Dubai last month sets the tone for what rich countries like the UAE can do to transform Africa. Cooperation within the MENA region is something we look forward to with keen interest.

Land of opportunity

We look forward to Africa’s Big Seven (AB7), one of the major shows in the continent scheduled for 30th June to 2nd July. Whilst Africa is a region of contrasts – rapidly
growing economies on one hand and poverty and slow industrialisation on the other – food companies cannot go wrong in pushing their way into this market as there are enough business opportunities.
It is the same in the Middle East. Amidst turmoil in many areas, businesses are thriving in parts where economies are relatively stable. In market snapshot, we take a look at a few new trends attracting food consumers.
Additionally, Gulfood has much to say about investor interest in the region. The 18th edition held in February outdid previous shows in space and company participation. Our correspondent Ria Mendoza gathered the sentiments of exhibitors and visitors for show review.
Food retailer Yael Mejia is one of those who came from London to make it big in the Middle East. In 2009, she set up Baker & Spice, an artisan food shop, in Dubai, and already she is preparing for a fourth outlet. See boardroom connection for her story.
On a lighter note, this issue includes a report by Charles Spence and Betina Piqueras-Fiszman on digital technology as dining enhancement.

The evolving Middle Eastern palate

THE FLAVOURS of Western food are no doubt transforming the Middle Eastern palate. The rise of international retail food outlets in the GCC is giving locals a more eclectic dining experience, and is one of the reasons consumers are becoming more selective. To learn more about flavours trending in the GCC, we spoke with Saleh Abdullah Lootah, managing director at Al Islami Foods and Piyush Mahesh, administration and sales director at National Food Industries.
Also on the subject of flavours, we take a look at South Africa’s ambitious target to cut back its salt intake by 2020. See our special report on page 29.
In boardroom connection, we feature Oasis Water, a supplier of bottled water since 1984. It is the first company in the UAE to be a member of the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) and the National Sanitary Foundation. Senior brand manager Madhu Misra tells us more.
In beverage, we cover breakthroughs in milk production, one of which is the fact that omega-3 fatty acids can be incorporated in milk without altering its taste and smell, and in another report, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of canola oil as a fat ingredient in term infant milk.
