Saleh Lootah, Chairman at UAE Food Cluster, said: "At this year's Forum, we
are providing a collaborative platform where key stakeholders can come

next phase of growth. Our commitment remains on strengthening global
trade connections and advancing long-term food security, here and
beyond."

sponsor the Future Food Forum 2025. This reflects the wider commitment
of Al Ain Farms Group to support the UAE's vision for resilient and

Day one of the Forum reinforced the UAE's leadership in shaping the global

strategies, positioning the Cluster as a model for accelerating
competitiveness through collaboration. Panels on SMEs, logistics,
consumer trends, and sustainable proteins further underlined how the UAE
is aligning global trends with its national priorities.
Alongside the main programme, high-level CEO sessions with the Minister,
UAE Food Cluster board reflections, and technical workshops on standards
harmonisation demonstrated the Forum as a collaborative platform for
strategic execution and alignment.
