DUBAI, 18th March, 2024 (WAM) -- Dubai Municipality announced the ‘Dubai’s Best
Homegrown Produce Competition’, one of the programs under Dubai Farms, which seeks to
support citizen farmers who are productive agricultural entrepreneurs and to promote local
agriculture for increased local production, and enhanced food security in the Emirate of
Dubai. The move comes in line with the objectives of Dubai Social Agenda 33, aimed at
empowering Dubai citizens and increasing their productivity and economic contribution,
thereby achieving self-sufficiency and physical, family, and social independence.

The competition aims to promote a culture of productive agriculture, adopt the concept of
environmental sustainability, and achieve self-sufficiency of the family from agricultural
products and crops produced in their homes as they will be at the level of the emirate's
neighbourhoods, as well as raise community awareness on the latest methods and
techniques in agriculture.

The prizes will amount to AED100,000, which will be awarded to the first three centres
divided into AED50,000 for the first winner, AED30,000 for the second, and AED20,000 for
the third. In addition, a ‘Medal of Dubai’s Best Homegrown Produce, will be placed by Dubai
Municipal Leaders at the front of the winning garden. The winners of the competition will be
announced in May 2024.
