MANILA – Mega Prime Foods Inc. (MPFI) is strengthening its global footprint with a strategic expansion into Dubai, introducing its leading product categories—including Mega Sardines, the Number 1 Sardines in the Philippines, Mega Mackerel, Mega Squid, Mega Prime Corn & Mushroom, and Mega Prime Nata—to the Middle Eastern market.
As part of this exciting move, MPFI participated in Gulfood 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), one of the world’s largest food and beverage exhibitions, alongside the Export Sales and Marketing teams, providing a platform to showcase Mega Sardines’ fresh-catch quality, Mega Mackerel’s rich and flavorful taste, Mega Squid’s quality seafood offering, Mega Prime Corn & Mushroom’s kitchen convenience, and Mega Prime Nata’s refreshing versatility.
These products were introduced not only to Filipinos in the UAE but also to Dubai’s diverse, multicultural community, reinforcing the company’s vision: “To bring pride to Filipinos by providing world-class brands that uplift people’s lives.”
MPFI also took part in Barrio Fiesta Dubai and Mega Prime Foods at Kooya Filipino Eatery, where key Filipino influencers in Dubai—such as Love, Josie, Bengs Hyu, Pinay Indian Accent, and Kai Torreflores—joined the celebrations, expanding the brand’s presence in the region.
Strengthening its foothold in the UAE market, MPFI has partnered with Baqer Mohebi Enterprises to make its products widely available in Baqer Mohebi Supermarkets across key locations in Dubai.
“Our entry into Dubai is a milestone that reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality Filipino flavors to the global stage,” said Michelle Tiu Lim-Chan, President and CEO of Mega Prime Foods. “We are excited to connect with international partners and expand our reach, ensuring Mega Prime Foods remains a trusted name in households worldwide.”
This expansion marks a proud step forward in MPFI’s journey to bring authentic Filipino flavors to the world, uplifting Filipino heritage and solidifying its position as a global food player.
Strengthening MPFI’s global presence
This expansion comes at a pivotal time as MPFI celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of excellence and innovation in food manufacturing. Establishing a stronger foothold in the UAE is a significant step in the company’s mission to make Filipino products a recognized staple worldwide.
Dubai presents an ideal opportunity for MPFI’s international growth: (1) As a leading culinary hub in the Middle East, it attracts top chefs, restaurateurs, and food innovators from around the world. (2) Its diverse and multicultural population fuels a strong demand for international flavors, including Filipino cuisine. (3) With a well-developed food industry and status as a global trade center, Dubai serves as the perfect launchpad for MPFI’s high-quality products.
Beyond its large Filipino community, Dubai allows MPFI to introduce authentic Filipino flavors to a broader international audience, positioning Filipino cuisine alongside the world’s most celebrated food cultures.
Committed to global growth
MPFI’s entry into Dubai is part of its broader international strategy, reinforcing its dedication to food excellence, innovation, and authenticity.
