The
Federation of Indian Export Organisation (FIEO) has decided to organise
buyer-seller meets at the three major business centers of Riyadh,
Jeddah and Dammam in Saudi Arabia from September 12 to 23.
The
FIEO president Mr M Rafeeque Ahmad said there was a great prospect
for export of multi-product consumer items to the region which included
fabrics, readymade garments, yarn, powerloom, handloom, silk, synthetic
and rayon textiles, handicrafts, leather garments, footwear &
leather accessories, chemical & allied products, bulk drugs,
plastic and linoleum, agro products and sport goods.
He
said a FIEO delegation of multi-fibre products visited Saudi Arabia
from May 31 to June 9. The delegation visited Riyadh, Dammam and
Jeddah and met around 500 Saudi businessmen where the buyer-seller
meets and the display of the products were organised by FIEO.
The
visit was a success which concluded with prospective business of
US$ 1.5 million besides a large number of trade enquiries. “At
present there are great opportunities available for Indian products
to formulate new initiatives and investments in various Saudi ventures.
The Saudi Arabian market could be formed as a regional hub for supplies
to other Gulf countries,” Mr Ahmad said.
