Officials step up monitoring as local production and stocks support supply
The UAE is stepping up oversight of its food supply chain, with authorities closely monitoring production, stock levels and distribution networks to ensure stable access to essential goods across the country.
Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, conducted field visits to major food producers, including Grand Mills and Abu Dhabi Vegetable Oil Company, to assess operational readiness and the strength of strategic reserves.
The move comes amid shifting global conditions that continue to test supply chains, prompting officials to focus on resilience, availability and price stability in local markets.
Daily monitoring and rapid response
The ministry is maintaining close oversight of inventory across suppliers and retailers, with daily tracking systems and regular assessments in place to ensure that essential goods remain available.
“The UAE, under the guidance of its wise leadership, has developed advanced food security infrastructure based on global best practices, with local flour production playing a central role in meeting market demand and supporting strategic reserves,” Bin Touq said.
He added that coordination between government entities and private sector players allows for quick adjustments when conditions shift, helping maintain continuity across the supply chain.
In parallel, the Ministry is preparing additional measures to strengthen price monitoring and improve transparency, aimed at reinforcing consumer confidence during periods of uncertainty.
