Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority - Abu Dhabi, UAE

Some photos of the visit to Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority. Abu Dhabi is a 2 hr bus ride from Dubai on a 4 lane (each way) highway with a maximum 140km hr speed limit in parts. Our bus couldn't handle that and we sat in the slow lane the whole way.

Key discussion topics were around food security and how we could work together to contribute to strategic reserves of grain as a food security initiative.

More words to follow tomorrow.

We also had an impromptu meeting with the Abu Dhabi Fund For Development, also on the topic of food security, as they are about to commission a 300,000mt silo grain storage facility at a local port. The cost of development was in the order of USD1.5 billion.
