This pioneering advancement is developed to verify the origin of local catches, promoting sustainability, enhancing national food security, and building consumer trust.

The digital application, which has been launched at Souq Al Jubail, is the first end-to-end digital solution in the fisheries sector across the UAE and the wider region; and generates a unique QR code for every fishing vessel, allowing instant verification of licence details, catch type, source, and quantity.

This ensures accurate tracking from the moment the boat leaves shore to the point of sale, giving consumers and regulators clear and reliable data.
