Jordanian companies to participate in Saudi Food Show 2023

  • JEA chief said the event is a great opportunity for Jordanian companies to promote their products

AMMAN: Around 18 Jordanian food companies will participate in the Saudi Food Show 2023, which will be held in Riyadh on Tuesday, Jordan News Agency reported.

The firms will showcase their products through the Jordanian Exporters Association, with assistance from the US Agency for International Development’s Business Growth Activity program.

The importance of Jordanian participation in the first edition of the exhibition was stressed by JEA Director General Halim Abu Rahma. He noted it is a great opportunity for companies to promote their products and explore new marketing avenues, especially given the current worldwide interest in food security.

Furthermore, Abu Rahma said that the three-day expo is an important event for the global food sector since it will gather global companies, producers, suppliers, and experts, adding that this presents a real opportunity for Jordanian enterprises to form international connections.

Abu Rahma lauded the work of the Business Growth Activity program, which aims to support startups and SMEs in Jordan boost their productivity, competitiveness and innovation, consequently creating new jobs for young people and promoting the country’s economic progress.

Where We Are Going Today: Randy’s Donuts in Jeddah

  • Randy’s Donuts is fairly priced compared to other specialty dessert outlets in Jeddah

Randy’s Donuts in Jeddah brings one of the most recognizable American donut brands to the city, with locations in the Al-Mohammadiyyah district and on Prince Sultan road.

The Al-Mohammadiyyah branch is spacious and designed for both casual dining and takeaway. Upon entering, the aroma of freshly made donuts and coffee fills the air.

One wall features a large poster highlighting the brand’s California heritage and the original Randy’s Donuts location alongside images of well-known American figures associated with the site over the years, including Snoop Dogg. The rest of the space remains intentionally simple.

Randy’s Donuts is fairly priced compared to other specialty dessert outlets in Jeddah. Individual donuts generally range from SR9 ($2.40) to SR14 for classic and specialty varieties, with premium options priced slightly higher.

During my visit, I tried the apple fritter, which offered a crisp exterior, a chewy texture, and rich notes of apple and cinnamon.

The creme brulee donut from the premium selection featured a caramelized crust with a custard filling, providing a richer alternative to standard glazed donuts.

The Long John stood out for its soft, light, chewy dough and thick chocolate glaze, delivering a classic American-style donut experience.

The donuts are noticeably larger than average, making them suitable for sharing and offering good value for their size.

In addition to Jeddah, the brand has expanded into Riyadh, with locations at Boulevard Riyadh City and other districts. Randy’s Donuts is also available on major delivery platforms, including Keeta.
