Our Story


Al Dahra in Arabic means "Phenomenon".
True to our name, our growth in pursuit of our purpose has been nothing short of phenomenal. From our humble beginnings in Al Ain in 1995, to being a key partner in UAE's food security strategy, to responsibly farming across a landbase of over 400,000 acres globally, we seem to have come a long way in our pursuit of sustainably feeding our growing world.

With 3,500+ employees, 16 world class processing facilities across the world, 20+ sourcing countries leading to a capacity of 6 million MT annually, we're just beginning.

We're here for the long haul, and we invite you to join us in our journey to nourish the planet.
