Statement by H.E. Dr. Obaid Saif Hamad Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Board of Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development (AAAID), on the Occasion of Arab Agriculture Day - 27 September 2025

Date: 28 Sep, 2025

On the occasion of Arab Agriculture Day, observed on 27 September under the theme "Working Together for the Sustainability of Oases and Enhancing Their Resilience and Adaptability," the Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development (AAAID) is honored to join the peoples of the Arab world in celebrating this day, which highlights the enduring importance of agriculture and its pivotal role in driving sustainable development and strengthening Arab food security.

Throughout history, agriculture has been the backbone of the Arab economy and the foundation of its stability. Today, in the face of global challenges-from climate change to food security-the need for unified Arab efforts to advance this vital sector has never been more urgent.

As a leading multilateral international organization dedicated to food security, AAAID is committed to launching and implementing development and investment projects that boost agricultural production, adopt cutting-edge technologies, and foster partnerships with public and private sectors across and beyond the Arab region. These efforts directly support food security objectives and enhance Arab economic integration.

On this day, we reaffirm AAAID's unwavering commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at advancing the Arab agricultural sector, promoting sustainable investments, and empowering farmers and agribusinesses to achieve a more prosperous and food-secure future for generations to come.
