recognized standards.

H.E. Bin Touq affirmed that the UAE prioritizes the development of forward-looking policies that align with
advanced global standards and support the growth of new economic sectors, including food production. This

approach furthers the nation’s economic diversification goals and enhances its competitiveness on both
regional and global stages.

Moreover, H.E. emphasized that the economic clusters model is poised to play a key role in the UAE’s
economic strategy for the future, with the food cluster being a top priority. The Ministry of Economy, in

collaboration with its partners, is advancing the implementation of this initiative by creating geographically
concentrated hubs for interconnected industries and institutions. The development of this robust and
adaptable economic model that blends competition with collaboration will help achieve the UAE’s goal of

building a sustainable food ecosystem.
The food cluster strategy aims to ensure self-sufficiency in food production and enhance the food ecosystem

management through supporting agricultural enterprises and increasing local production. The initiative aims
to meet local market needs, position the UAE as a leading food exporter to key regional and global markets,
and support the goals of the 'We the UAE 2031' vision, such as increasing the national GDP to AED 3 trillion

by the next decade.

H.E. stated: "Today’s visit is a key step forward in enhancing dialogue with food sector companies in the
UAE, exploring leading practices, and promoting the adoption of sustainable production technologies. This

aligns with the nation’s strategic focus on the sector’s development and positioning it as a key player among
the industries of the future.”

During his visit to Zabeel Feed, H.E. Bin Touq learned about modern production facilities, which produce 300
tons of fresh animal feed daily using cutting-edge technology. This locally made product enhances the

significant export destinations such as England, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC.
At Global Farms, H.E. Bin Touq examined the company’s state-of-the-art agricultural techniques for fruit

cultivation. These methods ensure a consistent supply of fresh produce to the local market, overcoming
seasonal limitations through advanced technology and precision systems. The company also champions a

vision to support new-generation farmers by sharing its expertise, mentoring them to achieve high standards
in agricultural production and distribution, and working towards expansion both at regional and international

levels.
