Highlighting the farm's overall capabilities, he noted that Meliha Dairy Farm produces around 40,000 litres of milk each day.

Additionally, new dairy products aimed specifically at children, featuring natural flavours and free from additives, are set to launch by the end of January. Meliha's organic dairy products are distinguished by their rich content of A2A2 protein, making them easy to digest and a safe choice for consumers.

Sheikh Dr Sultan Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, has declared 2025 as the 'Golden Year', emphasising the expected achievements of Sharjah's organic food security initiatives.

'Ektifa' aims to double the nucleus herd of Meliha Dairy Farm's cows to 8,000 by the end of this year, with a target of reaching 20,000 heads over the next three years. This expansion is designed to ensure that the farm meets local market demands and supplies Gulf markets with high-quality dairy products.

The initiative also reflects a growing commitment from UAE's community to improve nutritional lifestyles and promote the culture of healthy and safe food and government's orientations to provide healthy food with high quality.
