– Chairman, Ghitha Holding
With the UAE's National Food Security Strategy aiming to make the Emirates the world's most food-secure nation by 2051, expanding operations in food and agriculture presents an ideal opportunity to deliver shareholder value through commercial success while supporting the national development agenda. This transformation of Zee Stores into Ghitha Holding represents the next stage in the company's journey, and through our growing operations we will continue to play an even greater role in this sector.
– CEO, Ghitha Holding
Our first-half results demonstrate the strength of our strategy, with a clear focus on profitable growth, disciplined portfolio integration, and value-driven execution. Growth was driven by a combination of strategic acquisitions and internal margin expansion. We continue to reshape our customer and channel mix, placing greater emphasis on profitable verticals, pricing discipline, and high-performing segments, a model that has consistently proven to strengthen our profitability and long-term sustainability. We also launched the SAP S/4HANA program during the period, an important step in modernizing our digital backbone to support future scalability and national food security goals.
