Organic products in the United Arab Emirates

Hi..there!

Over a period the life style habits and consumer purchase habits has been changed in United Arab Emirates and the people become more careful about the health and organic products. 

Now in UAE we can find the Hypermarkets are providing the niche category and selection of SKU's in various categories for Organic products. Mainly the Fresh Vegetables and Fruits and produced in UAE from Organic farming. Poultry products also now available. There are major Hypermarkets catering the needs of the Organic consumers.

To the high end product selections are available at Spinneys and Waitrose stores. Special category is now created within these stores and easy to find, but the prices are abnormal sometime.

Since the more consumers and moving to Organic products, may be a good idea to cater all section of the consumers with the price points. I have good sources of fresh fruits and vegetables from Srilanka direct from organic farm so if anyone interested i can share the contacts.

Good to see interesting topics has been taken for sharing the thoughts.@!

The benefits of organic food :

How your food is grown or raised can have a major impact on your mental and emotional health as well as the environment. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their conventionally-grown counterparts and people with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives often find their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only organic foods.

Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat.

Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer. Organic produce is often (but not always, so watch where it is from) produced on smaller farms near where it is sold.
Organic farming is better for the environment. Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.

Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal byproducts. Feeding livestock animal byproducts increases the risk of mad cow disease (BSE) and the use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients. Results of a 2016 European study show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.
