Key steps for scaling up
Storage or cold-chain infrastructure can optimise processes to minimise food waste, supported by efficient transport, underpinned by digitalisation. Investment in advanced storage infrastructure will develop the UAE’s food & agriculture innovation ecosystem and cultivate diversified food items.
Minimising food waste and educating the community
“Made in the UAE” needs to evoke pride and appreciation among local consumers. Encouraging consumers to support local farmers and purchase locally sourced food contributes to self-sufficiency. Carefully designed labelling and packaging, incentives, and educating shoppers will help influence and motivate consumers to buy local.

Most food waste occurs at during the production process or at the point of consumption. A coordinated response in the supply chain reduces food waste effectively. Guidance and education are important for consumers to understand the implications of food waste and how to eliminate it.
Continuing to expand the role of the UAE as a regional and global food hub
Resetting the framework for the UAE’s food system will require ramping up local production, strengthening the programme to diversify imports, creating powerful international partnerships, and positioning the UAE as a regional food hub.
