Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) promoted food-manufacturing investment opportunities at SIAL Paris 2026, according to a 22 October report from Emirates News Agency. Its presentation focused on Sharjah’s industrial premises, storage facilities and logistics for companies seeking to establish or expand food operations.

The authority highlighted its existing Food Park, which it says hosts 580 companies across 11 million square feet. Facilities include industrial plots, warehouses, offices and logistics support for manufacturing, processing, preserving, packaging and repackaging, as well as import and export activity.

These figures describe the park’s existing scale, rather than new companies or land added during the exhibition. The report describes investor engagement and promotion but gives no value for contracts or investments secured at SIAL. For food businesses, the relevant offering is the combination of production, storage and distribution infrastructure; commercial results from the promotion remain to be established.
