Next Step: Global Commercialization of the World's Best Olive Oils

Our work of selecting and listing the best olive oils in the world is now fully completed.

From this point forward, our mission is 100% focused on the commercial success of the awarded oils, through the opening of franchises, the launch of physical stores, and the distribution of these premium oils across all key sales channels, including fine dining restaurants, specialty retailers, and gourmet grocery stores.

Of course, winning a medal is not enough to sell your olive oils in the most prestigious locations around the world. There are essential steps that must be followed, especially in the United Arab Emirates.

To commercialize your olive oils, you must have a registered company based in the UAE, responsible for importing, storing, and marketing your products. You are required to have physical offices, local employees, and dedicated storage space to house your olive oils. This setup involves tens of thousands of euros in yearly expenses, which makes entering the UAE market highly selective.

To eliminate this barrier, we are proud to announce to all DubaiOOC 2025 winners
that we will provide you with a fully operational company in the UAE, free storage space, and we will cover all operational costs
allowing you to import, store, and market your olive oils in the UAE without spending a single euro.

📜 Mandatory First Step to Sell Your Olive Oils in the United Arab Emirates

Before you can legally sell your olive oils in the United Arab Emirates, the first mandatory step is to obtain a unique product identification number issued by the local authorities.

This number is specific to each producer and each product reference (bottle type, packaging, or blend), and it is an essential legal requirement to authorize the sale of your oils in the UAE.

✅ This number is granted once, for life, with no annual renewal required. Once your product is registered, it is permanently authorized for sale within the UAE, with no further recurring administrative costs.

To facilitate your access to the UAE market, we have established a dedicated import company in Dubai which will directly handle the official registration of your olive oils with the local authorities.
Through this company, we have negotiated a special all-inclusive rate of 649€, covering every administrative step required to obtain your product identification number.

⚠️ Please note: this service is exclusively reserved for producers who have won medals in the Dubai Olive Oil Competition.

📌 How the Registration Process Works:

✅ Use of the bottle already sent for the competition:
To avoid unnecessary shipping costs, we will use one of the two bottles you already sent for the competition as the official sample for product registration with the local authorities. There is no need for you to send another bottle from your country.

✅ Official registration with the Municipality and FIRS system:
We will complete the full registration of your product with the Food Import and Registration System (FIRS), which is a legal requirement for all food products to be sold in the UAE market.

✅ Label verification and approval:
We will handle the verification of your labels according to UAE regulations, including mandatory translation into Arabic and validation of all required legal information.

✅ Issuance of your official product identification number:
Once the process is completed, your product will receive an official and permanent identification number, allowing you to legally sell and distribute your olive oil throughout the UAE without the need for annual renewal.

Award Ceremony & Professional Promotional Video of Your Brand

At the Dubai Olive Oil Competition, we believe that an award deserves more than just a simple medal handover in a room full of hundreds of producers.

While creating the presentation pages for the winners, we noticed that many producers do not have any professional video content that truly showcases their estate, their production process, or the human story behind their brand.

Yet, in today’s digital world, video has become essential for any brand wishing to grow and attract new clients and importers. We know that producing this type of content usually costs several thousand euros, and beyond the price, it’s often difficult to find a team capable of telling your story in an authentic and professional way.

This is why, instead of asking you to come to Dubai, spend money on flights, hotels, and transport just to collect your medal in a large group setting, we have chosen to invest these resources differently:

✅ We offer to send our professional marketing team directly to your country, to your estate, during your next harvest, in order to:

- We travel directly to your country, to your estate, during your next harvest,
- Film a full professional promotional video highlighting your brand,
- Capture your estate and facilities with drone footage,
- Showcase your production process and know-how,
- Record a professional interview of the producer or manager, sharing the unique story of your brand,
- Produce fully translated versions of your video in any languages you wish to use for your brand’s promotion,
And personally deliver your medal on your estate, so you don’t have to travel.

✅ All of this for a one-time fee of only 990 €, much less than what a trip to Dubai would cost, and with the added benefit of high-quality video content that you can use for years to come to promote your brand internationally.
