Al Dahra, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered agribusiness with farming operations across four continents, has released its latest Sustainability Report, the sixth consecutive year of public disclosure.
The report documents 2025 as a year of significant progress, with highlights including regenerative and reduced‑disturbance farming covering around 76% of cultivated land in Romania, a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and more than AED 2mn invested in communities in which the company operates.
Founded in Al Ain over three decades ago, Al Dahra has grown from a single farm into a global agricultural leader aiming to be the world’s largest irrigated, digitally enabled farming platform by 2030.
UAE facilities
Al Dahra’s UAE facilities, the Fujairah Strategic Grain Terminal, the region’s largest rice processing facility in KEZAD, and Al Dahra Dairy Farm in Al Ain, all serve as anchors for its global supply network.
“Inspired by the UAE’s leadership in sustainability, protecting our people and the environment is central to how we create long-term value. This report proudly reflects the everyday work of our teams here in the UAE and across four continents,” explained Arnoud van den Berg, Group CEO, Al Dahra.
Shipping routes expanded
In logistics, biofuel-powered shipping routes expanded more than fourfold, while a shift to inland barge transport in Romania eliminated approximately 200 truck movements per week.
Further strengthening its sustainable value chain, Al Dahra completed an ESG risk mapping exercise across its supplier network and selected ESG assessment platform Sedex to aid with responsible sourcing, a press communication concluded.
