This MoU with Silal reflects that commitment. This partnership brings together DECCA\u2019s regulatory leadership with Silal\u2019s expertise in agri-food and technology to enhance Dubai\u2019s position as a more resilient and sustainable food ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>His Excellency Dhafer Al Qasimi, Group CEO of Silal<\/strong>, said: \u201cOur focus at Silal is on turning strategy into action across the agri-food value chain. Through this collaboration with DECCA, we are strengthening our ability to support local farmers across the agri-food value chain. By leveraging our capabilities in sourcing, logistics, and distribution, we aim to create more consistent pathways for locally grown produce to reach consumers, while contributing to a more efficient and resilient food system in the UAE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration enables sustainable food production through modern technology, enhancing local production, diversifying food sources, and reducing food loss and waste. It will also support local farmers with the expertise and systems, to strengthen Emirati products within the national food basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership sits at the heart of DECCA\u2019s collaborative approach of working with government entities, private sector companies, research institutions, and the community to translate policy into measurable impact. The Memorandum with Silal is a signal of DECCA&#8217;s commitment to building a resilient, home-grown food system that serves Dubai and the wider UAE for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnership translates national priorities into actionable initiatives tostrengthen sustainable, technology-enabled production The Dubai Environment and Climate Change Authority (DECCA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Silal, the UAE\u2019s leading agri-food and technology Group, to strengthen sustainable food security in the Emirate of Dubai.
