The E-Marketplace will enable them to bypass intermediaries and optimise the supply chain. It will also ensure end-to-end traceability and transparency in order to create value for all stakeholders. This will result in empowerment of local communities and provide better quality farm-to-shelf products, simultaneously expanding the UAE’s long-term food security.
