Elite Agro, the UAE’s leading agriculture company with large scale integrated farming operations, is showcasing its produce and capabilities at the 8th International Perishables Expo Middle East (WOP) 2016, in Dubai, UAE.

The exhibition, which will coincide with the 11th annual edition of the International Plants Expo Middle East (IPM Dubai), concluded today (November 15), at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Elite Agro supplies fresh produce grown on a 500,000-sq-m farmland in Abu Dhabi, consisting of net houses, greenhouses, fields, and packing facilities, said a statement from the company.  

The company which has introduced a year-round supply of locally grown produce to the UAE market and sold under the Elite Harvest brand, is displaying a selection of its fresh produce grown in the UAE, Serbia and Morocco, and also the technologies utilised such as flow-wrap for fresh produce distribution.

Dubai Municipality’s director general Hussain Nasser Lootah visited the company’s stand. He was welcomed by cluster managing director, Saeed Al Bahri.

Bahri introduced Lootah to the company’s agricultural products on display and highlighted the techniques utilised to ensure a year-round supply, as well as the technologies used to retain freshness when distributing produce, said the statement from the company.

Peter Ensor, marketing and sales director, said: “Our primary goal is to showcase our capabilities and capacities in the UAE agriculture sector to interested parties with the intention of building and maintaining long-term partnerships that would assist in the overall development of the agriculture sector.”

“Our participation is to drive interest and display that it is not impossible to supply fresh-produce year-round in the UAE. So far, the response we have received has been positive especially since Dubai Municipality’s director general displayed interest in our products, and processes,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
