Research and Markets: United Arab Emirates Food and Drink Report - Q4 2009 Edition

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d60c6a/united_arab_emirat) has
announced the addition of the "United Arab Emirates Food and Drink Report Q4
2009" report to their offering.

The United Arab Emirates Food and Drink Report provides industry professionals
and strategists, corporate analysts, food and drink associations, government
departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive
intelligence on the United Arab Emirates' food and drink industry.

Despite the economic downturn, the UAE has retained its status as an attractive
market for food and drink investors in search of near-term returns with
premiumisation potential. Although some of the UAE's leading mass grocery
retailers (MGRs) have been reporting increased private-label sales, a sharp
correction in consumer spending has yet to transpire. With the downturn expected
to pass by 2010, multinational food and drink companies headed by New Zealand's
Fonterra and India's Britannia Industries are expected to scale up investment
into the UAE and the wider Gulf region as discussed in the recently published
UAE Food & Drink Report for Q409.
