KUWAIT: Kuwait
has witnessed the fastest growth in food consumption rates amongst other GCC
states with a rate of 5.5 percent, a food industry specialist said, adding that
this rate is expected to growth even more in view of the growing GDP and the
expected growth over the next four years as well as prediction of economic
growth until 2022 by 3 percent.

announced that his company will participate in the 2019 Horeca exhibition as a
golden sponsor. Fares strongly praised the Horeca Kuwait exhibition and its
ability to attract companies specializing in hospitality, catering and hotel
