Following the companies’ agreement for locally supplied raw milk announced at last year’s Global Food Week, the latest signing extends their collaboration to another critical part of dairy production. Under the agreement, around 55% of AAFG’s annual feed purchases by value will be supplied locally by Al Dahra, reducing lead times, improving efficiency and building more value within the UAE’s food-production ecosystem.
Consistent, specification-led feed supply is central to herd performance, milk-yield forecasting and reliable dairy output. Through coordinated quality, testing and traceability controls, the agreement with Al Dahra will support AAFG in sustaining the productivity of its dairy herd, which includes the highest-producing cows in the UAE. By strengthening the local input behind milk production, the partnership will help maintain a reliable supply of locally produced dairy for consumers while supporting the UAE’s food-security ambitions.
