Assessing agricultural performance and supply chains

Led by Mohammed Saeed Al Nuaimi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry, the tour evaluated the efficiency of the local agricultural system and ensured the steady flow of fresh produce to markets. It also reviewed farm conditions and crop safety following recent weather changes and rainfall.

Supporting farmers and enhancing resilience

The visit reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to supporting farmers through technical and advisory assistance, helping maintain stable internal supply chains. It also highlighted the sector’s ability to adapt to challenges and sustain production under changing conditions.

Direct engagement with farmers

During the tour, Al Nuaimi and the Ministry’s team met directly with farm owners to understand their needs and challenges. Discussions focused on practical solutions to support business continuity and enhance the competitiveness of local agricultural products.

Strengthening national food security

Al Nuaimi emphasized that such visits reflect the Ministry’s commitment to food security as a national priority, noting that local farms play a vital role in maintaining market stability and ensuring sustainable food supply.

Promoting innovation and future growth

The Ministry continues to support farmers through advisory services, technical consultations, and workshops introducing modern agricultural technologies. These efforts aim to boost productivity, improve quality, and transition farms toward smarter and more efficient systems.

Ongoing efforts and strategic initiatives

The field tours are part of a continuous approach that will expand to include more farms and key facilities across the UAE. They also align with broader initiatives, including the upcoming Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition, aimed at advancing the sector and reinforcing the country’s food security and sustainability goals.
