His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced the launch of the 1 Billion Meals Dates Factory, with an annual production capacity of 150 million date-based food units.
The factory's entire output will be dedicated to supporting underprivileged communities around the world, reinforcing the UAE's humanitarian efforts and its position as a global hub for humanitarian action.
The project represents a major investment by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), reflecting its mission to provide a food safety net for underserved populations in countries facing food security challenges.
The initiative also supports the global fight against hunger and contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
