Agriculture
Rumailah Farm in the Emirate of Fujairah is the first dairy farm in the United Arab Emirates to specialize in Jersey cows. The farm utilizes the slightly milder mountain climate of the east coast to create optimal conditions for these animals, which originally hail from the Channel Islands. Jersey cows are renowned for their high-quality milk, characterized by an above-average fat and protein content, making it convenient for producing butter and Greek yogurt. Established in 2017, the farm has since evolved into a significant local producer focusing on freshness and sustainability. In its modern processing facilities, milk is handled using state-of-the-art European technology according to the highest standards. Rumailah Farm also operates its own retail outlets and coffee shops, where fresh products reach consumers directly. By combining traditional animal husbandry with innovative technology, the farm contributes to strengthening regional agriculture and the independence of UAE food production. Visitors can tour the farm to learn about the dairy production process in an arid region.
