UAE Fisheries: Advancing Transparency with Digital Solutions

Expansion of SFS Fisheries strengthens supply chain transparency, supports market access, and advances a unified framework for sustainable fisheries management across the UAE

  • Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi: Traceability and transparency are fundamental to how global markets assess quality, build trust, and determine competitiveness.

Fujairah, April 30, 2026

The UAE’s fisheries sector is moving toward a unified, data-driven operating model, as Fujairah becomes the latest emirate to adopt SFS Fisheries, the country’s first integrated digital platform for tracking fishing operations and verifying the origin of local catch. The expansion builds on the system’s initial deployment in Sharjah and signals a broader national shift toward transparency, efficiency, and long-term resource management across marine supply chains.

Developed by Seafood Souq, the platform was first introduced at Souq Al Jubail five months ago, where it established a new benchmark for how seafood is monitored, verified, and traded. Its rollout to Fujairah reflects growing institutional alignment around the need to modernise fisheries governance while preserving the sector’s economic and cultural significance.

Analysis of over 14,000 property-related calls by the platforms further reinforces this trend, with the vast majority reflecting clear buying intent and a strong proportion progressing towards positive outcomes. The picture that emerges is one of a market where decision-making may be more deliberate, but genuine demand remains firmly in place.

To SMEs: You Are Not Alone — Practical Ways to Stay Ahead

By Sherpa Communications

When it comes to running a small or medium-sized business, the pressure to keep moving forward rarely eases. Limited resources, increasing competition, and constantly shifting customer expectations can make it feel like you are always catching up. If that sounds familiar, it is worth saying clearly: you are not alone.

Despite these challenges, SMEs remain the backbone of the UAE economy. They account for more than 94% of all companies in the country and contribute over 60% of non-oil GDP. Across sectors, SMEs are navigating the same environment. The difference often comes down to how effectively they stay visible, relevant, and connected to their audience without overstretching their capacity. The good news is that staying ahead does not always require large budgets or complex strategies. In many cases, it comes down to a few practical, consistent actions.
