This December, our Chief Marketing Officer, Sidra Iftikhar had the incredible opportunity to attend AgroFood Jeddah 2024, one of the Middle East’s premier events for the food and beverage industry. Held at the Jeddah International Exhibition and Conference Center, this event brought together global innovators, suppliers, and food industry leaders to showcase the future of food, beverages, and agricultural technologies.
For Cravecrafted Snacks, this event was not just about exploring new trends – it was about discovering how innovation can fuel the wellness snack industry and create memorable experiences for our consumers.
Innovative Packaging Demos: A Sustainability Showcase
One of the most inspiring parts of the event was the focus on sustainable and cutting-edge packaging solutions as the concurrent ProPack Jeddah exhibition focused on processing and packaging innovations. This platform showcased advancements in packaging technology, including sustainable solutions. Our CMO had the chance to see live demonstrations of innovative resealable designs, and vacuum packing equipment. These demos provided valuable insights into how we can elevate our own snack packaging.
Tasty Trials: Discovering New Ingredients and Flavors
No food industry event would be complete without some delicious tastings! The expo featured booths from local and international brands showcasing everything from health-focused snacks to exotic global flavors. Sidra was particularly impressed by the use of regional superfoods and the fusion of traditional recipes with modern wellness trends. We captured some of these moments on camera!

Networking and Industry Insights
Beyond the products and demos, AgroFood Jeddah offered an invaluable platform for networking with industry leaders.
