UAE Tomato Market Analysis
The UAE tomato market is estimated to register a CAGR of 1.92% during the forecast period.
- In the UAE, Ras al-Khaimah produces most of the country's vegetables, including tomatoes. The climate in the UAE is not well suited for the cultivation of tomatoes. The various initiatives from the UAE government are promoting tomato market growth. The favorable government policies supporting tomato cultivation, like the high adoption of modern agriculture practices such as hydroponics and greenhouse cultivation, drive the UAE tomato market's growth.
- Along with this, various varieties of tomatoes are grown in the UAE. Some of them are cherry plum tomatoes, cherry vine tomatoes, beef tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, etc. The markets for cherry tomatoes and beef tomatoes are expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.The growing consumer preference for these tomatoes as salad toppings is driving demand for these tomato varieties.
Moreover, many regional companies are venturing into tomato cultivation by incorporating advanced farming technologies in order to make tomatoes available to their consumers year-round and move away from dependency on trade imports. For instance, in 2021, Madar Farms in Dubai opened a commercial-scale indoor tomato farm using only LED lights to grow fresh tomatoes and satisfy domestic demand. Therefore, the favorable government initiatives, coupled with the introduction of advanced technologies by well-known companies, are catering to the market's growth in the forecast period.
