  • PublishedJanuary 9, 2025

Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers under Dubai Chambers, has facilitated the expansion of Dubai-based agri-food technology provider Farm To Plate into the Kingdom of Eswatini.

The chamber connected Farm To Plate, a subsidiary of Paramount Software Solutions, with key stakeholders in the Southern African nation. It provided advisory support and coordinated negotiations, culminating in a partnership agreement with Eswatini’s Royal Science and Technology Park.

The collaboration aims to modernise Eswatini’s agri-food supply chain, empowering local farmers through Farm To Plate’s advanced technologies. The initiative is designed to enhance agricultural sustainability, boost farmer profitability, and improve food product quality. The partnership also supports Eswatini’s goals of fostering economic growth, increasing export readiness, and strengthening local food production capabilities.

Savannah Maziya, Eswatini’s Minister of ICT, hailed the initiative as a milestone in the country’s agricultural transformation. “Farm To Plate’s entry reflects our commitment to leveraging technology to empower farmers and transform our food ecosystem. We thank Dubai International Chamber for enabling this impactful collaboration,” she stated.

Dubai Chambers’ President and CEO, Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, highlighted the chamber’s role in the partnership. “Connecting Farm To Plate with the right partners underscores our commitment to supporting Dubai-based businesses in expanding into dynamic markets like Eswatini. This partnership reflects our dedication to fostering sustainable economic development.”

Pramod Sajja, President and CEO of Farm To Plate, described the expansion as a step toward global collaboration. “Farm To Plate is committed to building sustainable food systems that empower farmers and drive positive change. Expanding into Eswatini aligns with our mission and the UAE’s vision of advancing sustainability through innovation. We are grateful to Dubai International Chamber for enabling this milestone.”
