World of Coffee Dubai 2026 Kicks Off at DWTC

Posted on by Qahwa World

Qahwa World

The fifth edition of World of Coffee Dubai officially opened today at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), marking a major milestone for the Middle East’s specialty coffee industry. Organised by DXB LIVE, the integrated event management and experiential agency of Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), in collaboration with the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), the event opened with more than 2,100 exhibiting companies and brands from 78 countries, delivering its largest and most internationally diverse edition to date.

A key milestone on day one was the signing of a five-year extension agreement between World of Coffee Dubai and the Specialty Coffee Association, extending the partnership until 2031. The agreement formalises a long-term collaboration to support specialty coffee competitions, education programmes, and professional standards at the event. The MoU was signed by Khalid Al Hammadi, Executive Vice President of DXB LIVE, and Yannis Apostolopoulos, Chief Executive Officer of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), reinforcing World of Coffee Dubai’s position as a stable, internationally aligned platform within the global specialty coffee calendar.

Following the opening programme, activity spread across the exhibition floor, which spans more than 20,000 square metres across Za’abeel Halls 1, 4, 5, and 6. Exhibitors from producing origins and consuming markets showcased green coffee, roasting and brewing technologies, equipment, packaging solutions, and café innovations, representing every stage of the specialty coffee value chain.

Key features activated on day one included the Roasters Village and Producers’ Village, where roasters and origin producers engaged directly with buyers, importers, and industry professionals. The Brew Bar and Cupping Rooms hosted tastings and sensory sessions throughout the day, while the SCA Community Lounge served as a central hub for networking and knowledge exchange. Live activity at the competition stages also drew strong interest from visitors.

The opening day also highlighted the depth of innovation and collaboration across the exhibition. A World of Coffee exclusive collaboration between Oatly and Yaba, a modern Iraqi restaurant based in Al Wasl, introduced a new approach to coffee beverage creation by applying culinary steeping techniques to extract flavour, alongside distinctive elements such as nut crème and saffron-infused bubbles.

Equipment innovation featured prominently, with Coffee Desk, the exclusive Middle East distributor for leading brands including Fellow, unveiling the first global showcase of Fellow’s upgraded Espresso Series 1, ahead of its commercial release later this year. The launch reflected growing demand for high-performance, accessible equipment within the specialty coffee sector.

Commercial activity commenced on day one with the Dubai Coffee Equipment Auction organized by DXB LIVE in collaboration with DMCC, a dedicated one-day auction showcasing specialised and customised coffee equipment from exhibitors at World of Coffee Dubai. Curated in collaboration with M-Cultivo, the auction featured pre-qualified equipment presented through live demonstrations and inspections on the show floor, followed by a live, lot-by-lot auction led by an auctioneer. Designed to connect equipment manufacturers with serious buyers, the auction provided a focused platform for innovation, craftsmanship, and price discovery within the regional specialty coffee market.

Reflecting on the opening day, Khalid Al Hammadi, Executive Vice President at DXB LIVE, said: “World of Coffee Dubai continues to grow in scale, diversity, and international relevance. The strong participation seen on the first day, together with the signing of a five-year partnership agreement with the Specialty Coffee Association, reflects the event’s maturity and its importance as a global platform for trade, education, and professional exchange.”

In a further milestone for the wider coffee events portfolio, Khalid Al Hammadi also signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding related to the Bahrain Coffee Festival. The agreement covers the organisation of the festival as a curated B2C and B2B experience featuring workshops, live brews, competitions, and immersive activations. The Bahrain Coffee Festival aims to engage the wider community by inviting coffee lovers, families, and the public to explore the diversity of coffee, while spotlighting both local and international brands.

During day one, DXB LIVE also announced plans to expand its coffee-focused event portfolio through the launch of dedicated coffee festivals in Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Developed as a separate DXB LIVE IP, the regional festivals will build on the growing momentum of specialty coffee across the GCC while complementing World of Coffee Dubai’s role as the flagship international trade platform.

Exhibitors highlighted the value of the event’s international reach and professional audience. Denkayehu Dessalegn Head Roaster and Quality Control at Roasters, said: “World of Coffee Dubai provides an important platform for regional specialty coffee brands looking to scale internationally. This is our first participation at the event, and it allows us to introduce what we have been developing over the past four years to a global industry audience.”

 

World of Coffee Dubai 2026 continues through 20 January, with upcoming days featuring the Microlot Coffee Auction, the Exhibitors’ Coffee Auction, championship finals, workshops, and further industry announcements.

World of Coffee Dubai 2026 Announces Largest Origin Participation in Event History

Posted on by Qahwa World

Key Highlights

  • Record-Breaking Participation: A record 76 producers are confirmed for the 2026 edition, marking the largest origin participation in the event’s history.

  • Most Diverse International Line-Up: Eight national pavilions will headline the most internationally diverse World of Coffee Dubai to date, including first-time participation from Kenya and Peru.

  • Export Growth Momentum: The announcement follows strong export performance, with Kenya’s coffee export volumes rising by 12% and Ethiopia generating USD 2.65 billion in revenue, reflecting strengthening Middle Eastern demand.

Dubai – Qahwa World

World of Coffee Dubai 2026 is set to deliver its most diverse and internationally representative edition to date, welcoming an expanded roster of origins, national pavilions, and producer organisations from across Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

Taking place from 18–20 January 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the fifth edition—organised by DXB LIVE, DWTC’s integrated event management and experiential agency, in collaboration with the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA)—reinforces Dubai’s position as the MENA region’s leading specialty coffee hub.

The 2026 event will host eight national pavilions, including Ethiopia, India, Saudi Arabia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, and Brazil, with Kenya and Peru joining the show for the first time. Returning origins such as Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Mexico, and Rwanda will also participate with strengthened delegations, underscoring the event’s reputation as one of the world’s most comprehensive showcases of global coffee origins.

Record Producer Engagement and Direct Trade Focus

This year’s edition will welcome more than 76 producers, the highest number in the event’s history, reflecting the growing importance of Middle Eastern markets in shaping global coffee trade.

The Producers Village, a dedicated meeting hub where farmers, buyers, roasters, and importers connect directly, will feature 14 curated spaces highlighting a wide range of terroirs, processing methods, and farm-level perspectives from across the coffee belt. Several of these producers will also be featured in three daily coffee auctions, offering buyers access to rare micro-lots, experimental processes, and distinctive coffees not previously available in the region.

Complementing this strong producer presence, the exhibition will also welcome participation from leading national coffee boards and export bodies, including:

  • Associação Brasileira de Cafés Especiais

  • Instituto del Café de Costa Rica

  • Specialty Coffee Association of Panama

  • PROMPERÚ

  • Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority

  • Kenya Coffee Directorate

  • Saudi Coffee Company

Their involvement further enriches the show’s depth of origin representation and reflects growing global interest in the GCC’s specialty coffee landscape.

Middle East Demand Reshaping Global Export Trends

Across several producing nations, recent export trends show increasing alignment with Middle Eastern buyer preferences.

Kenya recorded a 12% rise in coffee export volumes in 2024, one of its strongest-performing seasons in recent years, with exporters reporting increased demand from Gulf-based roasters for both washed and naturally processed Kenyan coffees.

Ethiopia, Africa’s largest coffee producer, generated USD 2.65 billion (approximately AED 10 billion) in coffee export revenues during the 2024/2025 fiscal year, driven by growing demand for naturally processed and honey-processed coffees in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Across Africa, coffee export volumes increased by 8% year-on-year in late 2024, reflecting broader international momentum behind the continent’s specialty-grade offerings.

These developments mirror the maturation of the region’s specialty coffee ecosystem, where roasters are increasingly embracing lighter roasting styles, seasonal single origins, and fermentation-led flavour profiles. This evolution has encouraged producers to prioritise Dubai as a long-term entry point into the Middle East, reinforcing the event’s role as a strategic platform where relationships, discovery, and direct trade meaningfully intersect.

Industry Perspectives

Shouq Bin Redha, Exhibition Manager of World of Coffee Dubai, said: “The scale and diversity of origin participation this year reflects a fundamental shift in the global coffee movement. Producers are no longer viewing the Middle East as a peripheral market; they are actively shaping their export strategies around it. The presence of first-time pavilions from Kenya and Peru, alongside expanded delegations from long-established origins, demonstrates how Dubai has become a true crossroads for global coffee trade—where quality, sourcing strategy, and business opportunity converge.”

Khalid Al Mulla, CEO of the Speciality Coffee Association UAE Chapter, added: “The specialty coffee community in the region has grown more sophisticated, more curious, and far more quality-driven. Roasters are seeking meaningful, long-term relationships with origin, while consumers are looking for diversity in flavour and story. Producers are responding with a level of engagement and investment we have never seen before. World of Coffee Dubai 2026 captures this moment, where global origin culture and regional demand are aligning in ways that are reshaping the future of the specialty coffee market across the Middle East.”

With strengthened origin representation, a record number of producers, and rising interest from both heritage and emerging producing regions, World of Coffee Dubai 2026 stands as a defining edition in the Middle East’s growing influence on the global specialty coffee landscape. The event continues to advance a more interconnected future for producers, buyers, and roasters across the value chain, reinforcing Dubai’s position as one of the world’s most significant destinations for specialty coffee.

Exhibitors can now secure their spaces for World of Coffee Dubai 2026, while early bird tickets for visitors are available through the official website.

Across the MENA region, the market is expected to exceed USD 11 billion (AED 40 billion) within the same period.
