Dubai Municipality signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Union Coop to ensure sustainable provision of strategic food commodities in Dubai’s local markets.
The MoU aims to strengthen cooperation in the field of food supply chain and seeks to enhance its resilience, supporting the objectives of the Dubai Food Security Strategy.
The MoU seeks to enhance collaboration between the two entities, facilitating the exchange of information related to the strategic stock availability index for essential food commodities. The objective is to integrate this data into the food security platform of Dubai Municipality, ensuring the resilience, adaptability, and uninterrupted functioning of supply chains.
The MoU outlines technical specifications for electronically linking data related to strategic food commodities, such as rice, wheat, etc., within the food security platform. It also involves the monitoring of challenges and constraints impacting supply chains. The agreement included provisions for sharing forthcoming plans and collaborative efforts to guarantee the availability of commodities in the domestic market. Additionally, it establishes a framework for joint proactive coordination in instances where the supply of commodities is constrained or affected. This contributes to effective decision-making and preparedness to address crises and emergencies in matters related to food security, to prevent the risk of shortages and to facilitate prompt handling of such situations.
