Developing new food corridors
Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi Airports and Abu Dhabi Food Hub – Kezad, the region’s first dedicated food wholesale market, have signed a tri-party memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly establish a fully compliant and transparent origin-to-destination perishable air corridor known as the ‘Fresh Corridor 2.0’.
The initiative will support the diversification of food sources, develop new trade corridors and increase the variety of products available for regional consumers. This MOU sets a framework for Abu Dhabi’s food producers and traders to bolster the UAE’s position in global food supply chains.
The partners aim to establish a strong ecosystem for food trading and investment, which includes advanced infrastructure, access to regional consumer markets, and reliable logistics and connectivity worldwide. (cj)
