What you’ll learn

Six modules, zero theory-for-theory’s-sake

01

The GCC food landscape

Market size, category growth, and where the white space really is.

02

Positioning & brand identity

Naming, packaging, and a story that earns shelf space with Gulf consumers.

03

Regulation: SFDA, labeling & halal

The approvals path step by step — and the mistakes that cost brands months.

04

Manufacturing & private label

OEM vs your own line: costs, MOQs, and finding the right co-packer.

05

Distribution that actually sells

Modern trade, HORECA, e-commerce, and B2B marketplaces — building your channel mix.

06

Pricing & the 90-day launch plan

Unit economics that survive the shelf, and a week-by-week plan to your first PO.

Who it’s for

Built for people who ship, not just plan
