According to Amac News, this event is launched in collaboration with the Emirates Council for Rural Development, the National CSR Fund "MAJRA," and the UAE Food and Beverage Business Group.
The goal of launching this market is also to increase consumer demand for locally made products in the UAE by offering competitive prices from domestic manufacturers.
The market commenced on Monday, March 3, at the Umm Al Quwain Chamber of Commerce and Industry, showcasing a range of Ramadan products. This platform supports local producers and consumers and will run during the first two weeks of Ramadan.
The "Make it in the Emirates Ramadan Market" aims to enhance competitiveness and consumer confidence in UAE-made products by directly promoting them and encouraging local consumption. This initiative also contributes to the growth of the food and beverage sector, increasing its share in the national economy.
Omar Al Suwaidi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, stated, "Through this initiative, we provide an interactive platform that enables local manufacturers to engage directly with the public, enhancing consumer confidence in UAE-made products and contributing to sustainable industrial growth."
Khalfan Ahmed Mesfer, Chairman of the Umm Al Quwain Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the importance of local industry in national economic growth. He highlighted the market's role in strengthening local industries, increasing the visibility of national products, and raising consumer awareness of the quality of Emirati goods.
Mohammed Khalifa Bakhit Al Kaabi, Secretary-General of the Emirates Council for Balanced Development, also stressed the focus on creating investment and development opportunities that enhance community stability, aligning with the vision of balanced development and improved quality of life.
