Presentation for Federation of Trade Union Chambers of Manufacturers of Cured Meats, Sausages, Canned Meats and Wholesale Charcuterie in France.

As quite often, we were asked to share our knowledge and experience on halal and haram (prohibited by Islam) meat consumption in the Gulf region.

Our CEO François-Xavier Depireux and LDE Director for France Arnaud Popille gave a practical presentation on opportunities for the export of fresh meat (especially cold cuts) to the Middle East. The conference was dedicated to 50 members of the French Federation who are interested in exploring this market, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

All the information was based on LD EXPORT’s daily (on the field) experience and observations.

First trip to Saudi Arabia after pandemic started

We are very delighted to be able to travel again within the region! The possibility of having live meetings is very great news for our LDE Clients, existing partners as well as potential partners in the Gulf.

Based on our experience, face-to-face meetings in the region are much more efficient than video meetings via Skype, Zoom or Teams.

In Saudi Arabia, we had the chance to visit Riyadh and Jeddah, where we arranged meetings with counterparts for our Clients. Our counterparts are very open to having face-to-face meetings and willing to discuss with us about orders, ways of developments and cooperation opportunities.

Our first exhibition - Gulfood - live

Last month we also had a chance to visit one of the largest food exhibition in the world: Gulfood.

The experience brought us the hope the situation is really getting back to normal, at least in the Gulf countries, where the market is growing.

This year, the Gulfood show gathered exhibitors from 85 countries and attendees from 156 countries.

As you will probably hear from others, it has been a great success, less people but more quality!

Contract with WTC

Last month we made an important step for our group: we launched the cooperation with WTC Leeuwarden Noord-Nederland, the business club gathering the companies based in the North Netherlands. Their members are willing to develop foreign markets and to participate in trade missions, the Middle East region included.

LDE will help and assist WTC in the development of the 6 GCC countries, of course based on our "4P Approach":
Professional - Practical - Proactive and Passionate.
On the picture, our CEO François-Xavier Depireux signing the contract, LDE Director for the Netherlands Paul Goulmy as well as Mr. Evert-Jan Schouwstra, Managing Director of WTC Leeuwarden Noord-Nederland.

Thanks to Evert-Jan Schouwstra for the trust in our organization!

New partners and orders for Gymna in KSA and Kuwait

LDE Team has finalized exclusive contracts with new partners in KSA and Kuwait for Gymna Uniphy.

As Gymna is a global leading provider of physiotherapy equipment, our idea is to work only with leading distributors in the physiotherapy field in each country in the region. Collaboration with partners in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait is starting with signatures on the contract and the first orders. Based on our last visit to Riyadh as well as on several video meetings with the Kuwaiti company, we are convinced that Gymna will be developing in the right direction in those two markets.
