Fruits & Vegetables Business Group

The Fruit and Vegetable Traders Business Group is a sector-specific business group operating under Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of the three chambers within Dubai Chambers. Established as part of the chamber's strategic initiative to create specialized business groups across Dubai's diverse economic sectors, this group serves the fruit and vegetable trading community in Dubai—a vital component of the emirate's food security infrastructure and commercial trade ecosystem.

The business group provides a structured platform for dialogue between fruit and vegetable traders and government entities, facilitating discussion on growth opportunities, regulatory frameworks, and sector-specific challenges. Led by Chairman Mohamed Al Sharif and supported by Dubai Chamber of Commerce leadership, the group focuses on enhancing sector performance, supporting sustainable growth, and accelerating international expansion of member companies. Through regular meetings, site visits, and collaborative initiatives, the group works to strengthen Dubai's position as a leading global hub for food trade while ensuring the competitiveness of local traders in regional and international markets. The group's activities directly contribute to increasing the volume of imports, exports, and re-exports of fresh produce to key global markets.
