2/20/24, 11:36 AM          Dubai Municipality highlights integrated digital programmes for food sector at Gulfood 2024 - Arabian Business
        The municipality is also set to review its integrated digital programmes and
        services to further enhancing Dubai’s food sector during the event, being held

        from February 19 to 23 at Dubai World Trade Centre.





        Dubai Municipality’s digital services contribute to enhancing the availability of

        flexible, sustainable, and integrated food supply chains.


        “It also enhances the municipality’s efforts in educating food enterprises,

        traders, and suppliers about the most recent safety standards, food

        specifications, and environmental sustainability, thereby ensuring their

        implementation,” Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality,

        said, highlighted the significance of the municipality’s participation in Gulfood

        Exhibition.



        Al Hajri said the Dubai Food Systems Excellence Programme, the

        municipality’s most recent initiative to recognise the best food establishments

        in the application of integrated standards of food safety, nutrition,

        environmental sustainability, community responsibility, digitisation, and
        innovation, will also be reviewed during Gulfood.



        The programme’s objectives include consolidating Dubai’s position as a major

        hub for global trade, encouraging food businesses to distinguish themselves,

        as well as upholding a sustainable system of food, health, and environment to

        improve the quality of life.



        Dubai Municipality will also review its services for food merchants and

        suppliers, which offers them access to IRS to streamline import and export

        procedures and track food products.


        In addition, the municipality will also promote practices that minimise food

        loss and waste in the emirate during its participation at the event, in addition

        to increasing customer understanding of the regulations, processes, and

        transactions associated with food shipments.
