Booming Food Industry Brings Investors and Jobs to Dubai

Food sector booming and attracting investment and jobs reports Dubai Chronicle.

Food shortages are a global problem as a result of the 2012 drought and the constantly increasing population in Dubai. In the barren regions of the Middle East, Dubai has the important task of importing enough food for the entire region. In fact 90% of the food needed for the Emirates region comes through the Dubai port.  The food industry accounts for 13.2% of the area’s GDP making it the fourth largest sector.

This makes Dubai one of the most important hubs for food production and re-export in the region.
