Enriching a nation to grow

Our Food security financing is designed to enrich a nation by empowering farmers and enhance the overall resilience and sustainability of the food system in the UAE.

We're helping to change the landscape of food production form the ground up.

Developing agricultural infrastructure means improved irrigation systems, storage facilities and processing centres. By providing financing for infrastructure projects, farmers and agricultural organizations can improve productivity, reduce losses and enhance efficiency.

Our financing flows to farmers so they can invest in essential farming inputs and technologies, such as seeds, fertilisers, machinery and precision agriculture tools.

Making this finance available to farmers is enhancing crop yields, optimising resource utilisation and improving the resilience of operations.

Food security financing helps agricultural practices to evolve, making them climate-resilient and sustainable. It helps to speed up the adoption of climate-smart technologies, agroforestry initiatives, conservation measures and water management systems, all assisting in the target of long-term food security.
