Gulf Food Resilience Call
Khalid Al Amin, Chairman of the Food Committee at the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry, called for strengthening the resilience of Gulf food supply chains by diversifying import sources and transport routes, streamlining procedures, and improving coordination among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. He also stressed the need to balance affordable prices and product quality with the sustainability of the private sector. He made the call at the second Gulf–French Business Forum in Dubai, where he emphasized that expanding local production should be based on economic feasibility. He also highlighted Bahrain’s experience of government–private sector cooperation to identify alternative suppliers and routes. Al Amin pointed to initiatives to reduce food waste, including the Bahrain Food Bank and the “Wajba” platform, and called for surplus food that cannot be distributed to be used to produce animal feed and fertilizers.
