6 Graphs that Map Out Foodtech in MENA
Foodtech in The Middle East & North Africa
Foodtech innovations are particularly important to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region; this is primarily because of the region suffering from the effects of increasing desertification. This translates to increasingly shrinking plots of arable land and water scarcity. These environmental factors have meant that the MENA region has increasingly become more dependent on food imports, especially in the GCC markets - which include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
