In addition, investments in domestic dairy farms, state-of-the-art processing facilities, and research and development have bolstered local production capabilities. The goal is to reduce reliance on dairy imports, ensuring a stable and secure supply of dairy products for the region’s expanding population. These government-driven initiatives strengthen the dairy sector’s resilience, promote economic diversification, enhance food security, and contribute to the creation of local jobs and the development of an autonomous dairy industry within the GCC region.
