8/22/24, 1:50 PM LOGIC Consulting’s ‘UAE’s Food Security Leap’ report highlights UAE’s progress in attaining global leadership in food security

The study emphasized the role of family business in food security, as illustrated by Seif Rabie, LOGIC
UAE Managing Partner; “family businesses is a key enabler to attaining food development goals and the
UAE’s family businesses are well-positioned by 21 of the Middle East’s most powerful family
businesses, including Al Futtaim, Al Ghurairand Al Majid, to drive growth in this sector”.

The study further highlights the significant challenges in positioning the UAE among the top 10 countries
in GFSI. These challenges include land desertification, 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.

Overall, the UAE has demonstrated a strong commitment to the National Food 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.
