Yemen Permanent Virtual Exhibition and Business Directory

Yemen is one of the oldest centers of civilization in the Middle East, thanks to its location at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia. A key stop along the world’s ancient spice routes, Yemen was part of the Minaean, Sabaean and Himyarite kingdoms, each of which controlled the spice trade during various periods between the 12th century BC and the 6th century AD.

The region later came under Ethiopian and Persian rule; by the 19th century, Yemen had been absorbed by the Ottoman Empire. Yemenis, unlike nomadic and semi-nomadic Arab peoples, are mostly sedentary, living in villages and towns across the country’s coastal and highland regions.

Yemen’s natural resources include coal, copper, dairy products, fish and seafood, natural gas, oil and rock salt. Agricultural output includes cereals, coffee, cotton, fruits, livestock, poultry, pulses and vegetables.

Yemeni companies participate in a number of industries, including aluminum products, cement, commercial ship repair, crude oil production, food processing, handicrafts, leather goods, natural gas production and petroleum refining. Yemen’s key export destinations are China, Thailand, India, South Korea, the USA and Switzerland.
