Individuals are not allowed to set up farms or instal fences on land that is not owned by them in Dubai, according to a new Decree issued on Friday.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, issued Decree No. 61 of 2023, regulating farms in the emirate.
The Decree is aligned with Dubai's food security strategy and its commitment to ensuring the highest public health and safety standards. It focuses on several key areas including maintaining the integrity and aesthetic appeal of the environment, preventing the proliferation of unplanned farms and fostering the development and welfare of the emirate's livestock.

As per the Decree, the Office of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for Procurement and Finance is responsible for overseeing and controlling farms affairs in Dubai, in coordination with Dubai Municipality.
The municipality, in coordination with the Office of the Dubai Ruler, is responsible for approving the areas and land allocated to farms in Dubai. Additionally, it will oversee farm livestock, monitor their health status, and deliver veterinary, preventive, and therapeutic services. It is also responsible for animal registration, and managing issues related to livestock-related diseases and epidemics.
