The organic market is experiencing significant growth in Dubai.
Public education and awareness initiatives are vital for the growth of organic products in the Dubai market.

Market research suggests Dubai consumers are willing to pay for organic foods, despite costing between 20 and 40% more than traditionally produced foods.

The Organic Foods and Café is the largest supplier of organic food products to Dubai’s five-star hotels and retailers, and is poised to open an organic packing and production plant in the city which will be larger than any in Europe.

It is specifically seeking a reliable supply of certified organic cheeses, meats, fruits and vegetables.
