This inaugural participation highlights the nation's rich gastronomic traditions and aims to engage local distributors alongside food lovers eager for authentic tastes.

Attendees at North Macedonia’s pavilion were welcomed by a colorful array of cheeses, fresh fruits, vegetables, and preserves, embodying the country’s commitment to genuine food craftsmanship. Best Food – Gjorgiev Dairy showcased its renowned mixed cow and sheep milk cheeses, celebrated for their exceptional flavor, a result of the nation's sunny climate and fertile soil.

Altera Food, another key participant from North Macedonia, presented a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, along with pickled items, appetizers, and low-sugar fruit jams. These products thrive in regions basking in approximately 300 sunny days each year, enhancing their distinctive flavors and high quality.

The nation’s involvement in this event signifies its goal to introduce Balkan culinary heritage to the UAE market, offering consumers products that blend tradition with authenticity and excellence. This initiative paves the way for possible collaborations with local distributors and importers, bringing the essence of North Macedonian flavors closer to the Gulf region.
