LOGIC Consulting’s ‘UAE’s Food
Security Leap’ report highlights UAE’s
progress in attaining global leadership
in food security
August 21, 2024 9
LOGIC Consulting, a prominent management consulting firm in the MENA region, conducted a
study titled ‘UAE’s Food Security Leap’, which reveals that the UAE’s economy has progressed
substantially, aligning with the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision, further signifying the country’s efforts
towards ensuring its position as a global partner and an exceptional economic hub. The study
reveals the country’s achievement of the goals outlined in the ambitious vision, especially in
the realm of food security, are reflected in various global indices.
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 Ghurair and 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.
