Dubai breaks ground on mega $150m Agri Terminals facility

This $150m project, in collaboration with Adroit Overseas Canada and Al Amir Foods, aims to become Dubai’s largest multi-tenant facility for integrated agricultural processing and silo storage. This project aligns with the UAE’s vision to ensure a stable and sustainable food supply chain. Jebel Ali Port already handles 73 per cent of the country’s food and beverage trade, and the Agri Terminals facility is expected to significantly enhance this capacity. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, group chairman and CEO, DP World, said this was a landmark moment for building resilience into the food supply chain. “As we expand our F&B infrastructure, we are building the foundation for a future where food security and global trade converge. By integrating this terminal with existing sugar processing and edible oil facilities, we are creating a comprehensive food and beverage ecosystem that optimises resources, diversify our offerings, and shows our unwavering commitment to the UAE’s vision in addressing global food security challenges.” The Agri Terminals facility is expected to create new trade opportunities,
