We’re delighted to share a reflection on our recent experience at Gulfood 2026, whether you joined us in Dubai or followed our journey from afar.
Participating in one of the world’s leading food and beverage exhibitions was an incredible opportunity for Khayelitsha Cookies. We had the privilege of engaging in inspiring conversations with buyers, distributors, and industry leaders from across the globe, and we were encouraged by the strong interest in both our products and our purpose-driven model.

At Gulfood, we proudly showcased our range of hand-baked, hand-packed cookies, including:

Meaningful Conversations, Lasting Connections
We had the opportunity to connect with potential buyers, distributors, and partners who share our values and vision. These discussions have laid the groundwork for exciting future collaborations and new market opportunities, and we look forward to continuing these conversations in the months ahead.

Baking with Purpose
Khayelitsha Cookies is a social enterprise creating meaningful employment for previously unemployed women from informal settlements in the greater Cape Town region. For every 1,000 cookies sold per day, one sustainable job is created, empowering women to support their families with dignity and pride.
