With a journey that began in 1973, NRTC embarked on its mission to bring in the freshness of premium quality fruits and vegetables to the Dubai market.

According to Mordor Intelligence, The UAE fruits and vegetables market was valued at USD 3,731.0 million in 2018, and it’s projected to reach USD 6,376.9 million, with a CAGR of 9.34% during the forecast period (2019-2024). The drivers identified in this market are favourable government policies, an increase in consumption of fruits and vegetables due to health consciousness, and a strong distribution and retail network.

Demand for fruits and vegetables in the UAE is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the coming years. This growth may increase disposable income and rapidly expand retail trade, all of which may, in turn, spur the growth of these products. The growth within fruits and vegetables is likely to be driven by the introduction of new products (like multi-vitamin juice) and improvements in packaging, which gives rise to extended product life cycles.
