The AD Ports Group has signed a 50-year land lease agreement with Al Ain Mills, a member of Al Hazaa Investment Group.
This strategic partnership will see the development of a state-of-the-art grain storage and processing facility at Khalifa Port at South Quay, further enhancing the port’s capabilities and reinforcing its position as a premier trade hub in the region.
The 50,000sqm facility is planned to have a storage capacity of approximately 300,000 Metric Tons and is expected to go live within two and a half years after the start of construction.
