United Arab Emirates: Grain and Feed Annual
Link to report:
Continuing economic growth; increasing tourism; a healthy hotel, restaurant, and institutional sector; and a growing population will lead the UAE’s wheat and rice consumption to grow in the 2025-2026 marketing year (MY). Given the absence of local production, the UAE will increase wheat and rice imports to meet this demand. Government updates to the food price control system will limit rises in local prices for wheat flour, bread, and rice. The adjustment to the feed subsidy program and increased demand from the local poultry industry will support a MY 2025/26 rise in imports.
