A 19 September Emirates News Agency report described targets under the UAE’s drive to expand national products, including good agricultural practices and local sourcing. The UAE G.A.P. programme promotes the adoption of agricultural practice standards on farms.
The stated goals include certification for 80% of local farms and a 25% local share of agricultural and livestock products sourced by hotels and restaurants. These are targets, not achieved rates.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
