Deli Foods Peru the first company to join Latin American Incubation Centre at Jafza

DP World, the UAE’s leading logistics and business hub operator, announced Deli Foods Peru has joined the Latin American Incubation Centre at Jafza One, the flagship commercial complex located at the heart of Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The agreement was signed at Gulfood 2020, and marks Deli Foods as the first Latin American company to join the incubation centre, an initiative for international SME investors wanting to set up business in Jafza and explore regional markets.

DP World operates fully integrated maritime and logistics services in Peru, a container terminal at the Port of Callao, catering to customers across the entire supply chain. DP World Callao, like Jebel Ali Port with its technology-driven, cost-effective operations, high productivity and inter-regional transshipments, acts as a gateway for Peru’s imports and exports.

Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO and Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region, and CEO of Jafza, said: "Cooperation between DP World, UAE Region and Peru is based on a joint strategy focused on increasing connectivity, logistical integration and internationalisation of companies. For Latin American companies like Deli Foods, the choice of Jafza is simple and obvious: one location, multiple markets. The benchmarks we set helps us guide our incubator partners in doing business from Jafza. Our strategy of enabling smarter global trade in Peru is an optimum illustration of what we do at our flagship facilities in Dubai.”

The LATAM Incubation Centre, strategically located in Jafza One, offers the most advanced, cutting edge business facilities that enable companies to collaborate and achieve returns on their investments with fewer tax and other logistical hurdles.
