Al Dahra signs MoU with Al Rawabi Dairy to strengthen dairy

UAE – Al Dahra has signed an MoU with Al Rawabi Dairy Company, marking a new milestone in the evolution of a long-standing relationship into a more strategic partnership within the UAE’s agri-food sector.

Under the MoU, Al Dhara will work towards strengthening animal feed supply capabilities, including enhancing supply security, while exploring strategic collaboration opportunities and delivering a tailored solution across forage, feed commodities, and grains to support their production needs.

Beyond supply, both companies will explore broader opportunities to collaborate on global farming initiatives, leveraging combined expertise in agriculture, supply chain management, and sustainable production to create long-term value.

This collaboration underscores Al Dahra’s commitment to building partnerships that enhance local production capabilities while contributing to the UAE’s long-term food security goals.

Recently, DP World and Al Dahra Holding finalized a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore large-scale investments and operational opportunities aimed at strengthening food security and upgrading agricultural logistics capabilities across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and international trade corridors.

The corporate pairing directly addresses a critical structural requirement within the Middle East: the United Arab Emirates currently imports an estimated 85% to 90% of its total food supply.

This high reliance on external agricultural markets necessitates the development of highly resilient, integrated, and high-velocity supply chains to shield the region from global macroeconomic shocks and climate-driven harvest variability.

The framework combines DP World’s expansive international network of ports, marine terminals, economic free zones, and multimodal transport assets with Al Dahra’s specialized expertise in large-scale agricultural production, global crop sourcing, and raw commodity procurement.

The companies will focus on engineering end-to-end supply chain infrastructure specifically optimized for the efficient movement, multi-tier storage, and industrial distribution of core food products

Additionally, DP World and Al Dahra Holding signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore strategic opportunities aimed at strengthening food security and advancing agri-logistics capabilities across the GCC and globally. 

The partnership aligns with broader regional efforts to enhance food security and build more resilient and integrated supply chains across the GCC. With the UAE importing approximately 85–90% of its food, there is a clear need for resilient supply chains to support long-term food security.
