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.
