The Market

Agriculture in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is playing an increasingly important role in diversifying the economy, which has traditionally been heavily dependent on oil. Despite the challenges posed by the arid climate and limited water resources, the use of modern technologies and innovative irrigation methods, such as drip irrigation, has contributed to increasing agricultural productivity. Additionally, the UAE promotes sustainable agricultural practices and vertical farming to secure food supply and reduce dependency on imports. The government has launched initiatives to support local production and raise awareness about the importance of agriculture. These developments are part of a broader strategy to transform the UAE’s economy and ensure food security.

Animal husbandry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is influenced by various cultural and economic factors. Traditionally, animal husbandry, especially the breeding of camels, sheep, and goats, plays an important role. However, in recent years, animal husbandry has increasingly modernized, with some farmers shifting to intensive agriculture and raising livestock such as poultry and cows. The government promotes sustainable practices and aims to improve animal welfare to meet international standards. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, particularly regarding the conditions in which some animals are kept.
