Launched in 2021, Manbat is a social initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) that aims to empower Emirati farmers, linking them with local consumers in a bid to support the UAE’s long-term national food security goals.
Manbat farmers’ markets have taken place in 16 different locations across the UAE during the growing season, and the first Manbat store opened in Aljada in 2023.
Manbat is positioning itself to become the UAE’s leading fresh produce aggregator for consumers, corporates and government entities that are committed to increasing local consumption.
