UAE Animal Feed Market Trends & Drivers:

The UAE's animal feed sector is experiencing a major transformation driven by the push for sustainability and local production. Food waste conversion has become a game-changer, with innovative companies like núaFEEDs setting up operations to transform surplus bread into high-quality livestock feed. This approach tackles two challenges at once-reducing the environmental burden of food waste while creating locally-produced feed alternatives. The government's decision back in 2006 to ban alfalfa cultivation to preserve underground water has made feed importation critical, with the country now bringing in around 2.5 million tonnes of hay annually. Dubai Municipality collects approximately 4,000 tonnes of food waste each year and repurposes it into organic fertilizers and animal feed, demonstrating how waste-to-feed initiatives support both sustainability goals and food security objectives.

Industry consolidation is reshaping the market landscape and driving production efficiency. The launch of Al Ain Farms Group in May 2025 brought together five iconic UAE food brands under one umbrella, backed by major investors Ghitha Holding and Yas Holding. This strategic merger aligns with the UAE's National Food Security Strategy 2051, creating a unified platform that operates across the entire farm-to-shelf value chain. The group ensures product freshness within 24 hours, supporting the country's aim to become regionally self-sufficient in protein production. Additionally, SEDCO Holding and Bugshan Investment completed the sale of Arabian Farms to AAFG, further strengthening the group's capacity. This consolidation trend isn't just about scale-it's about building resilient, integrated food systems that can adapt to market demands while supporting local farmers through long-term commitments and technical assistance.

Technology and precision nutrition are revolutionizing how feed is formulated and delivered across the Emirates. Leading producers like Agthia have partnered with global nutrition specialists such as Trouw Nutrition to deploy advanced feed optimization systems like NutriOpt. These platforms use real-time analysis and modeling to enhance animal performance while controlling costs. Agthia's introduction of four specialized camel feed products demonstrates the shift toward species-specific nutrition that addresses the unique requirements of regional livestock. The company's Agrivita brand holds a 42% market share in the UAE feed segment, operating state-of-the-art facilities that combine over 50 types of animal feed with innovative nutritional services. Major players like Al Dahra Holding, National Feed, and Gulf Feed Company are investing in automated production facilities and research partnerships with international centers to ensure feed quality meets both local regulations and global standards.
