DP World signed an agreement with the Zhejiang China Commodities City Group to jointly construct a new traders market at Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone in Dubai. The Dubai-based ports operator will build the traders market within its Jebel Ali Free Zone Area next to the Expo 2020 site. The market will include clusters of traders from around the world offering a range of products.

They will be divided by sector, ranging from household goods, building materials, food and beverage, cosmetics, health care, energy and technology. The market is also expected to help trade within the GCC, Middle East and Africa, and India subcontinent regions, widening market reach for goods. The deal follows an agreement signed earlier this year between DP World and the Zhejiang Seaport Investment and Operation Group for a warehouse project in Yiwu in China.
