Thank you to Gulfood for being such a great location for our brand launch event in February. We had such a warm reception from the media, chefs, consumers, investors! Thank you to everyone who came to see our mushroom installation & try out our mushrooms cooked at Top Table!

Gulfood’s new-to-market products
As the UAE government pursues a multi-pronged food strategy to reduce the country’s reliance on imports, a range of homegrown startups and established food sector heavyweights have leveraged Gulfood to readdress the import-export imbalance.
One of the market entrants, Abu Dhabi-based Below Farm, is seeking to increase reliable and cost-effective access to exotic and flavourful mushrooms by growing locally, with the additional benefit of facilitating fresh produce supplies quicker than international competitors.
Bronte Weir, co-founder, Below Farm said: “We are excited to be launching Below Farm at Gulfood in the UAE. Our goal is to supply affordable, hard-to-come-by products of good quality from the region for the region. We will be supplying a sustainably-grown range of mushrooms, including king oyster, shitake, and lion mane, which are a great alternative to seafood. The response from retailers has been incredible and we are looking forward to seeing our products on the UAE supermarket shelves in the very near future.”
