A video showing His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, visiting a fruits and vegetables market has gone viral on social media.

The video shows Sheikh Mohammed visiting The Fresh Market in Ras Al Khor. Workers and customers are seen surprised to find the Dubai Ruler in their midst.


The video surfaced as the UAE Cabinet chaired by Sheikh Mohammed approved a national system for sustainable agriculture. The system seeks to increase self-sufficiency from targeted agricultural crops to 5 per cent annually and average farm income to 10 per cent. Socially, the system aims to raise workforce in the sector by 5 per cent. Environmentally, it targets a 15 per cent annual reduction in water used for irrigation of a production unit.
