Dubai: Khalifa Ports will host a grain storage and processing plant, with Anchorage Investment as the builder and managed by National Feed, one of the largest agro-commodity processors in Abu Dhabi.
This follows a 50-year land-lease agreement between Abu Dhabi Ports and Anchorage. To be developed on a 100,000 square metre plot, it will have an initial design capacity of 300,000 metric tonnes. The facility will introduce grain storage and processing capabilities to the port for the production of food and animal feed ingredients.
The facility will utilise grain resources to convert wheat into flour for baked goods, corn into starch and glucose, barley, corn, and wheat by-products into animal feed. The venture should also be seen in the wider context of Abu Dhabi beefing up its food security needs.
