AD Ports, Al Ain Mills partner on grain facility development at Khalifa Port

AD Ports Group has entered into a 50-year land lease agreement with Al Ain Mills, a subsidiary of Al Hazaa Investment Group, to establish a cutting-edge grain storage and processing facility at Khalifa Port’s South Quay.

This strategic collaboration will enhance the port’s capabilities and further solidify its position as a leading trade hub in the region.

Spanning 50,000 square meters, the planned facility will feature a storage capacity of approximately 300,000 metric tons and is expected to become operational within two and a half years from the start of construction.

Saif Al Mazrouei, CEO at Ports Cluster of AD Ports Group, commented: “This agreement underscores the strategic importance of Khalifa Port as a vital trade hub, not only for the UAE but for the entire region. The state-of-the-art grain storage and processing facility will enhance our port’s capabilities and attract more customers seeking world-class infrastructure and seamless access to global markets.”

Situated within Khalifa Port, the leased plot will grant Al Ain Mills direct access to deep-water berths and world-class port infrastructure, significantly improving the efficiency and capacity of grain storage and handling.

This development aims to meet the rising demand for high-quality grain products across the GCC and beyond.

Jamal Al-Hazzaa, Chairman of Al Hazaa Investment Group, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating: “This partnership embodies our vision to integrate our established expertise in the food industries with the exceptional capabilities of Abu Dhabi Ports in the logistics and supply chain sector. It also represents a strategic step towards bolstering food security and developing infrastructure in line with the highest global standards.”

Additionally, the new facility will play a vital role in advancing the UAE’s food security initiatives while contributing to the region’s economic growth by creating job opportunities and stimulating trade activities.

Abdullah Al-Hazzaa, CEO of Al Ain Mills, noted: “This collaboration opens new horizons for innovation and excellence, contributing to the localisation of the industry and supporting our national aspirations for the future.”
