Move to augment UAE Food Security efforts for the region
The 26,000sqm facility in ICAD 3 (KEZAD Musaffah) will have a large production capacity to cater to the requirements of the UAE market.
“The Golden Spike facility would be well positioned to augment these efforts and play a significant role in the country’s food security efforts,” commented Mohamed Al Khadar Al Ahmed, CEO, Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi–KEZAD Group.
Infrastructure investments
“With its extensive infrastructure investments and dedication to integrating advanced agricultural technologies (AgTech) that cater to the evolving needs of the industry, KEZAD is crucial in repositioning the UAE, and particularly Abu Dhabi, as a leading Food and AgTech hub of the Middle East,” remarked Mustafa Al Husseiny, General Manager, Golden Spike and Wheat.
The upcoming 3.3sq km Abu Dhabi Food Hub in KEZAD, as well as a number KEZAD clients in the F&B sector, along with sustainable solutions in the AgTech industry, such as vertical farming and hydroponics, are crucial initiatives in a region with limited arable land and water resources.
These efforts support the UAE’s food security objectives while ensuring environmental sustainability, a press communication concluded.
