Al Ain Farms expands poultry production to strengthen UAE’s food security
The company has introduced Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for extended freshness.
UAE – Al Ain Farms, one of the largest integrated poultry and dairy company in the UAE, has expanded its poultry production as part of its strategy to ensure a stable supply of fresh chicken and eggs in the UAE.
The company has invested in hatchery operations, automation, and long-term supplier partnerships to improve efficiency, enhance biosecurity, and maintain high food safety standards.
To extend product shelf life without preservatives, Al Ain Farms has introduced Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) across its chicken portions.
The packaging technology preserves freshness and improves storage conditions, aligning with the company’s commitment to quality.
In addition, colour-coded egg packaging has been launched to make shopping easier for consumers, while recyclable and biodegradable packaging solutions reflect the UAE’s sustainability goals.
By packaging over 160 million eggs in RPET trays, the company is actively reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy.
As part of its commitment to industry innovation, Al Ain Farms continues to play a key role in strengthening the UAE’s food security.
By expanding local production, the company helps reduce reliance on imports while meeting the increasing demand for poultry products.
“At Al Ain Farms, our focus is on delivering fresh, high-quality poultry and eggs while contributing to the UAE’s food security,” said CEO Hassan Safi.
“Through innovation, sustainability, and a commitment to excellence, we ensure that consumers receive trusted products daily.”
Founded in 1981 as the UAE’s first dairy company, Al Ain Farms has since grown into the country’s largest integrated dairy and poultry producer.
Its product range includes fresh dairy, juices, camel products, and poultry, maintaining a reputation for quality and reliability.
The demand for chicken meat in the UAE is expected to grow by 6% in 2025, reaching 470,000 metric tons.
This increase is driven by population growth, with the country’s population projected to reach 10.2 million in 2024.
Economic expansion and a rising number of expatriates are also contributing to the trend.
