We help Indian food brands enter the UAE market and help UAE businesses build food manufacturing, sourcing and investment projects, in the UAE or in India. Regulation, product and plant, handled by one team that knows both markets.
The UAE imports most of its food and has one of the largest Indian communities in the world, so Indian snacks, spices, ready meals and beverages already have loyal buyers there. Getting onto shelves in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, though, means meeting product registration, labelling and certification rules first. As a food regulatory consultant for the UAE, we prepare your products and documents so they clear and sell.
Most delays come from documents and labels, not the product itself: a missing Arabic label, a shelf-life format that does not match UAE rules, an ingredient that needs extra approval, or a halal certificate from a body the UAE does not recognise.
We review your product, label and paperwork against local requirements before the first shipment, so your importer can register and clear it without back-and-forth.
Requirements differ by emirate and product category, and they change. We confirm current rules with your UAE importer and the relevant authority before dispatch.
Import Export Code (IEC), FSSAI licence and, for scheduled products, APEDA registration.
We check ingredients, additives and shelf life against GCC standards and reformulate if needed.
Arabic and English labels with the required declarations, dates and storage conditions.
Halal certification from a UAE-recognised body where your category needs it, plus health certificates and origin documents.
Registration through the UAE's ZAD system, Dubai Municipality or ADAFSA in Abu Dhabi, done by your importer with our documents.
Support for the first consignment, then range extensions and private-label opportunities with UAE retailers.
India is one of the world's largest food producers, with competitive raw materials, a deep manufacturing base and a fast-growing consumer market. For UAE importers, retailers, distributors and investors, that opens three practical routes, and we support each one on the ground in India.
We find and audit Indian manufacturers for your private label, develop the product to your specification and make it compliant for the Emirates before the first order.
Contract manufacturing in India →India allows 100% foreign investment in food processing. We handle feasibility, site selection, subsidies, plant design and commissioning for UAE-backed projects.
Food factory setup in India →For UAE brands selling into India, we cover FSSAI import licensing, Indian labelling, market research and launch planning.
Food market research in India →Cost and scale: abundant raw materials, from grains and pulses to fruit, spices and dairy, at competitive prices.
Trade access: the India–UAE CEPA has cut tariffs on many goods made in India, which helps products sourced here for UAE shelves.
Investment support: central schemes and state incentives can reduce the cost of a new food processing unit. Our funding and subsidy team maps what applies.
Whether your plant will be in a UAE industrial zone or an Indian food park, the technical work is the same: the right capacity, a hygienic layout, the right machinery and a team that can run it. We lead that technical work from feasibility to first production.
For manufacturing in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates, we deliver the technical design and work alongside your UAE licensing partner on local approvals.
For UAE-backed food processing units in India, we manage the full project, including Indian approvals and subsidy applications.
