About 175 companies from 25 countries are showcasing their products at the show.
“The demand for organic products is rising in the UAE because there is improved availability of organic products in the local market.
“Previously organic products were imported from foreign markets which were expensive. Now with over nine organic farms in the country, the production of organic products has increased and prices in the UAE have decreased,” Glass pointed out.
“All organic products have to be certified by the UAE Ministry of Environment and Water to check for pesticide content. Regular inspections of the producer and the retailers of organic products are conducted by the Ministry,” he said.
He added that in the UAE, organic dates and vegetables were commonly grown, and the highest demand was for fresh fruits and vegetables. Dairy products like cheese were also gaining fast popularity
According to Glass, supermarket chains such as Carrefour and Spinneys have a popular selection of organic vegetables.
