The UAE has emerged as a key distribution point for European beef due to its high demand and limited production, with over 150,000 tons consumed annually. Spain is among the top suppliers, increasing its export to the UAE to 300 tons in 2021. The success is attributed to the quality and taste of Spanish beef, aligning with the preferences of Emirati consumers who seek low-fat meat from young animals. A promotion event hosted by the restaurant Ergo in Dubai showcased Spanish beef to UAE commercial chain agents and concluded with a tasting.
