Her Excellency Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak Al Shamsi, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment, visited Al Dahra’s Fujairah Strategic Grain Terminal (FSGT) at the Port of Fujairah to review one of the country’s key food infrastructure assets and its contribution to strengthening national food security and supply chain resilience.

During the visit, Her Excellency toured the terminal’s operational facilities and received an overview of Al Dahra’s integrated agricultural supply chain, strategic grain storage capabilities and operational resilience measures. Discussions focused on the importance of maintaining reliable food supply networks and strengthening national preparedness amid evolving regional and global challenges.

During Her Excellency’s visit, Al Dahra representatives highlighted the terminal’s operational performance and resilience during recent geopolitical disruptions, during which it supported shifting logistics and trade flows.
