DUBAI, Jan 26, 2026 (GDM) – The UAE’s Al Ain Farms Group (AAFG) announced Monday a major expansion to produce an additional 150 million eggs annually within three years, aiming to supply a quarter of the country’s domestic consumption.
The expansion, unveiled at the Gulfood exhibition, will raise AAFG’s annual production capacity from 400 million to 550 million eggs, the company said in a statement.
“This expansion… reflects our belief that food security is built through local capability,” said Group CEO Hassan Safi, noting the UAE consumes roughly 2 billion eggs per year.
The project includes upgrading facilities in Al Ain and building a new logistics hub in Jebel Ali, Dubai. It aligns with UAE government goals to increase domestic food production and reduce import reliance.
AAFG, a national conglomerate formed from several historic UAE agribusinesses, is part of Ghitha Holding PJSC. The group operates a fully integrated supply chain for dairy, poultry, and beverages.
