The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) has announced its full operational readiness and the launch of a comprehensive proactive plan to ensure the uninterrupted flow of food, agricultural, and animal consignments through all UAE entry points in preparation for Eid Al Fitr and in response to rising demand across local markets. The Ministry is working in close coordination with all relevant authorities across the United Arab Emirates to provide the necessary technical resources and specialised personnel to expedite inspection and clearance procedures for a wide range of commodities, including fresh fruits, vegetables and meat products, while ensuring the highest standards of food safety. In response to the demands of the Eid Al Fitr season, the Ministry has further reinforced its regulatory and operational framework at agricultural and veterinary quarantine centres by increasing the number of specialised personnel, including veterinarians, agricultural engineers, and laboratory technicians, and activating fast-track clearance channels. These measures ensure the seamless and efficient flow of safe food products, helping to maintain well-supplied and stable markets that meet the expectations of all members of the community. Addressing quality and inspection standards, food safety remains a cornerstone of the national food security system and is essential to ensuring the integrity of food shipments. We manage the food value chain with the highest level of professionalism, and the flow of imports and goods continues seamlessly through our major entry points to supply our markets with all they need. This efficient operational approach ensures that consumers receive food products that retain the highest levels of quality and freshness.
