Ukrainian Entrepreneur Showcases Innovative Products at Gulfood 2026

Nina Stetsenko, founder and export manager of Panfruit Ukraine, represented her company at Gulfood 2026 in Dubai — one of the world’s largest food industry exhibitions — with support from a Women’s Opportunity Fund travel grant.

Panfruit specializes in freeze-dried berries, fruits, and innovative snacks, including freeze-dried ice cream. At the exhibition, Nina presented her products at the National Stand of Ukraine, held B2B meetings, and connected with potential international partners.

The experience opened new opportunities for expansion into global markets, particularly in the MENA region, while increasing the international visibility of Ukrainian products.

Nina’s participation highlights the vital role women entrepreneurs play in driving innovation and bringing Ukrainian businesses to the global stage.
