The Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), in collaboration with the Global Society for Food Regulatory Science (GFoRSS), organised an international symposium titled ‘Supporting the Development of the Camel Milk Sector’, on September 24 and 25, 2024, in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The event featured representatives from international organisations, government agencies, and the private sector, coinciding with the United Nations’ declaration of 2024 as the International Year of Camelids.
The symposium emphasized the importance of camel milk production and included presentations by the Codex regional coordinator of the Near East, Khalid Al Zahrani, and the regional coordinator of Africa, Hakim Mufumbiro, who discussed the economic significance of camel milk for the Near East and Africa regions and the importance of following Codex procedures while undertaking new proposals for standard development.
The technical sessions covered the distinctive compositional characteristics and nutritional benefits of camel milk as well production practices of camel milk in different regions. The symposium witnessed notable contributions from Dr Gaukhar Konuspayeva, Dr Mutamed Ayyash and Dr Bernard Faye, and also Professor Samuel Godefroy, the president of the International Union of Food Science and Technologies (IUFoST). The symposium offered the opportunity to discuss a proposal for new work related to camel milk, drafted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), according to insights given by the experts and UAE camel milk producers.
