shrinking freshwater resources, climate change and dependence on imported
food supply, which constitutes around 85% to 90% of the supply.

To address these challenges, the country launched the ‘National Food Security

Strategy 2051’ in 2018, an initiative that seeks to ensure a ranking within top 10 in
GFSI and secure a leading global position by 2051.

Security Strategy 2051, as it currently accounts for over 18% of the Middle East

region’s food trade and contributes over 26% of the region’s food exports.
