Establishment of the Emirates Bio Farm

In line with the environmental protection guiding principles of H.H. (Late) Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, Emirates Bio Fertilizer Factory established the largest private organic farm in the country. The 250,000 sq.m facility is a major supplier of organic products. Excellent progress has been made in a short period of time and today, the farm has the following certifications.

• Certificate of Organic Vegetables & Fruits
• Certificate of Organic Egg Production
• HACCP Certificate

The vision outlined by the company is “To contribute to the establishment of a secure and sustainable food system that promotes the health of humans and environment in the UAE and in the global market, and to provide genuine, organic food and services for conscious and healthy living.”

The parent company, Emirates Bio Fertilizer Factory, was established in 1997. The goal was to safeguard the environment from the harmful effects of untreated fertilisers imported from other countries. Today, the Emirates Bio Fertilizer Factory recycles animal manure and plant waste to produce environment-friendly organic fertilisers. The production capacity of 500 tons per day means that they are not only supplying products to clients in the UAE but are also exporting fertilisers.
