The new system will ensure that only top-rated products that comply with the highest international standards can enter the country.
Al Nuaimi told national news agency WAM that safety inspections on local production operations will also be strengthened.
He added that the system aims to improve the capabilities of screening and impoundment centres at all UAE entry points.
"The ministry is currently cooperating with the private sector in launching a major national project aimed at marketing local agricultural products, to improve customer trust in these products and boost their competitiveness," the minister explained.
This week, the ministry will launch a youth food security project, which aims to create advanced tech-enabled agricultural stations, in line with the UAE’s climate conditions, as well as to improve the skills of youth and enable them to manage the latest agricultural systems.
