Dubai, UAE: 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

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

neighborhoods, as well as raise community awareness on the latest methods and
techniques in agriculture.

The prizes will amount to AED 100,000, which will be awarded to the first three centers

divided into AED 50,000 for the first winner, AED 30,000 for the second, and AED 20,000
