Al Barakah Dates Factory serves as a leading model for the growth and expansion of innovative food industries in Dubai
Yousuf Saleem: Innovation, sustainability, product diversity, and quality are the key strengths that set us apart in global markets UAE, Dubai – Dubai has successfully laid a strong foundation for the growth of a sustainable, competitive industrial sector that supports economic diversification. Today, it stands as a prime destination for major industrial investments, offering unique advantages — most notably a robust regulatory and legislative framework, encouraging government policies and incentives, and world-class logistics infrastructure that enables access to regional and global markets. Specialized industrial zones further provide an attractive environment for all types of industries. Al Barakah Dates Factory LLC, operating under Al Barakah Foods Holdings Limited Group and located in Dubai Industrial City, part of the TECOM Group, exemplifies thriving investment in Dubai's industrial sector. Established in 1988, the factory has grown significantly to become the world's largest privately owned dates factory, with cutting edge innovation that continues to elevate the date product and date ingredient industries. In a standout performance, Al Barakah Dates Factory exports to more than 90 countries from its base in Dubai. Its largest export markets include the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Its global clientele features some of the world's leading food companies. The factory has achieved remarkable success in growth and expansion, now covering 800,000 square feet — with 500,000 square feet dedicated to manufacturing and cooling — whilst continuously increasing its production volume to meet rising global demand. Distinguishing Product Strengths Yousuf Saleem, Managing Director of Al Barakah Dates Factory LLC, affirmed that alongside its ongoing operational growth, the factory has strengthened its position as one of the world's most prominent dates factories. It processes over 100,000 tons of dates annually, including more than 50,000 tons of locally grown dates from the UAE. With growing global demand for its products, the factory supplies major global players such as General Mills, Kraft Heinz, Mondelēz, and Nestlé. He said: "We are proud of the image we present to the world in reflecting the strength of the UAE's national industries. We always keep in mind the important role we can play in supporting Dubai's vision of becoming a global hub for food innovation, sustainable manufacturing, and halal product exports. The success of Al Barakah Dates Factory — and its continued growth — is built on the unique incentives offered by Dubai to industrial investors, including the encouraging economic advantages, the high-value commercial impact of its industrial and logistics infrastructure, and the UAE's strong international trade relationships." Innovation and Sustainability Yousuf Saleem added that one of the factory's core strengths lies in its deeply rooted commitment to product innovation. Al Barakah Dates Factory produces a broad range of date-based products — including date paste, date syrup, date powder and sugar, chopped dates, date jam, date seed oil, and date fibers — all in high demand across global markets. It boasts high production capacity and internationally recognized quality, supported by numerous certifications such as BRCGS (Grade A), USDA & EU Organic, ESMA Halal, KLBD Kosher, and Sedex SMETA (four pillars). These advantages position Al Barakah Dates Factory LLC as a benchmark for sustainable national food manufacturing. The factory was officially licensed by Expo 2020 to represent Emirati innovation in the dates sector, highlighting the high quality of UAE-made products. The factory also leads globally in sustainability as the world's first solar-powered dates factory, featuring over 6,500 solar panels and reducing around 3,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Commitment to Social Responsibility Al Barakah Dates Factory plays a key role in supporting humanitarian and charitable initiatives, reflecting a deep commitment to social responsibility and solidarity — core values of its corporate vision. The factory has made generous contributions to the 'One Billion Meals Endowment' initiative and is a key partner of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives Foundation. It also makes regular donations to UAE food banks and supports humanitarian campaigns during Ramadan. Additional contributions include support for Al Jalila Foundation, the Faraj Fund (Ministry of Interior), and the scholarship program at the American University of Sharjah. The success story of Al Barakah Dates Factory highlights the strength of Dubai's pro-business economic environment and the competitive advantages it offers across sectors — enabling continuity, growth, and expansion. This is especially true for vital sectors prioritized in Dubai's strategic vision, such as industry and food, which hold enormous potential for growth and global reach, supported by the UAE's robust incentives to drive national export expansion.

UAE emerges as global leader amid rising geopolitical tensions, says expert
As global power dynamics evolve in unpredictable ways, the UAE is emerging as a model of resilience and opportunity in a rapidly transforming international environment. Experts in the UAE highlighted the country's 'nimble approach' to global disruption — fuelled by investment in knowledge, climate solutions, and cross-border partnerships — is positioning the UAE as a pivotal player in an era marked by volatility and competition. Amid escalating conflict and mounting tensions in the Middle East, Trevor McFarlane, Founder and CEO of Emerging Markets Intelligence & Research (EMIR), said, 'President Trump comes to power in this second term and he recognises that we are in this multi-unstable, multi-polar period… you have a geopolitical, geo-economic, technological, environmental, even from a sociological perspective, you have a 'volcano world'.' He made the statement while speaking at the 'News9 Global Summit UAE' on Thursday, June 19. McFarlane added, 'And this completely changes the chapter of where we're in (one that challenges conventional assumptions about stability).' Strategic alliances drive UAE's global relevance However, he reiterated that rather than retreating in the face of such uncertainty, the UAE is leaning into its global role with a future-ready strategy focused on innovation, sustainability, and smart diplomacy. The country's expanding partnership with India — one of the world's fastest-growing economies — is just one example of how it's turning disruption into opportunity. 'You have two countries, India and the UAE… there is a remarkable opportunity as a result of this… and you have a country like the UAE, which is admirably nimble,' McFarlane added. He emphasised that future global leadership will be shaped not only by geopolitical strength but also by advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and decarbonisation. Meanwhile, as McFarlane emphasised on the UAE's global agility in the face of sweeping disruptions, another expert had similarly pointed out how this approach was mirrored in the country's evolving geopolitical alliances. Kristian Patrick Alexander, Lead Researcher at Rabdan Academy, in an earlier interview with Khaleej Times underlined the UAE's emphasis on regional cooperation and stability through practical, forward-thinking agreements. 'Trump prioritised (in his first term as President) bolstering ties with key allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, seeking to counterbalance Iranian influence in the region through a combination of sanctions, diplomatic pressure, and arms deals. His administration's hallmark achievement — the Abraham Accords — focused on fostering economic and security cooperation between Israel and several Arab nations, marking a shift toward a Middle East strategy rooted in coalition-building against common adversaries.' 'The UAE's commitment to innovation and security fits Trump's pragmatic approach, which values partnerships with nations willing to bolster regional stability and economic development,' he added. Specialists also noted that as the international system confronts increasing complexity, the UAE's blend of strategic foresight, innovation-driven policies, and global partnerships offers a roadmap for how nations can thrive — even in the most uncertain of times. From launching AI-powered government initiatives to hosting global sustainability forums, the UAE continues to invest in long-term relevance. 'The race for knowledge supremacy… AI would be one, decarbonisation and climate change would be the other,' McFarlane said. 'There will be parts of the world that will experience great instability… but the UAE's positioning gives it an edge.'
