Al Dahra, a United Arab Emirates-based global agribusiness, is partnering with Getreide AG Ukraine through an exclusive agreement to establish grain sourcing operations that support its global growth and supply chain strategy, the Khaleej Times reported.
Under the agreement, Al Dahra will source between 100,000 and 150,000 tonnes of agricultural commodities, with plans to scale operations beyond 500,000 tonnes in Ukraine, which is among the world’s top exporters of wheat, corn and barley.
With dedicated teams from both companies collaborating, operations integration is expected to be complete before Ukraine’s new crop season begins in July.
