East Africa Gold LLC Capitalizes on Growing Global Demand for High-Purity Gold

Sharjah, UAE – 20th October 2025 – East Africa Gold LLC, a subsidiary of MANAFA LLC, is poised to continue capitalising on the growing global demand for high-purity gold. As the world navigates through economic shifts and geopolitical challenges, the gold market has seen substantial interest from a range of institutional and consumer buyers, marking a significant shift towards the premium segment of 99.99% pure gold.

According to the World Gold Council, global gold demand has seen consistent growth, driven by central bank purchases and increased investment interest. Central banks have made gold a strategic asset in their portfolios as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainties. Rising consumer demand, particularly in regions like India and China, further underscores the ongoing value of gold in both financial markets and everyday transactions.

The premium segment of high-purity gold has become particularly attractive to institutional investors, who are increasingly turning to gold as a stable asset in volatile times. As demand continues to rise, the outlook for gold remains positive, with key markets in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe expected to continue playing a critical role in global gold trading.

H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Faisal bin Sultan Al Qassimi, Chairman of MANAFA LLC, highlighted the strategic importance of these trends, stating “The growing global interest in high-purity gold reflects both its enduring value and its position as a key asset for economic stability. East Africa Gold LLC is positioned to take full advantage of this dynamic market, and we are committed to driving innovation and growth as demand for gold continues to rise across the world.”

Looking ahead, the future of the gold market is set to be shaped by a confluence of economic factors, including ongoing inflationary pressures and shifts in global monetary policies. With robust demand from central banks and institutional investors, as well as consumer interest in key markets, East Africa Gold LLC is well-positioned to continue contributing to the global gold supply, supporting a sustainable and thriving market for years to come.

Revolutionising Farming in the UAE: Kutoof Introduces Organic Farming Techniques That Preserve the Environment and Promote Health

Sharjah, UAE – 10th July 2025 – In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable agriculture and healthier food systems, Kutoof, a subsidiary of MANAFA LLC, has introduced innovative organic farming techniques that prioritise environmental preservation while offering greater health benefits for consumers.

At a time when the UAE is focusing on food security and environmental sustainability, Kutoof’s adoption of organic farming methods marks a pivotal step in transforming the local agriculture sector. These practices eliminate the use of harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, instead embracing natural composting, crop rotation, and biological pest control to restore and maintain soil health while protecting biodiversity.

The move is designed to not only reduce the environmental impact of traditional farming but also to provide the UAE’s growing population with fresh, nutrient-rich, and wholesome produce.

H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Faisal bin Sultan Al Qassimi, Chairman of MANAFA LLC, expressed his support for the initiative, saying “Kutoof’s embrace of organic farming represents a bold and necessary step towards the future of agriculture in the UAE. This initiative reflects a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, wellness, and innovation — principles that are essential in addressing the challenges of our time. By adopting nature-aligned practices that prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and chemical-free cultivation, Kutoof is not only nurturing the land but also safeguarding the wellbeing of our communities. It is through such forward-thinking approaches that we pave the way for a more resilient, health-conscious, and environmentally responsible food system for generations to come.”

With the first batches of organic produce already being harvested and distributed to select markets, retailers, and hospitality partners, Kutoof is setting a new benchmark for clean, ethical farming in the UAE. The company is excited to lead the way for other agricultural businesses to follow, inspiring a new era of farming that focuses on sustainability, health, and environmental responsibility.

This year’s participation held special significance for HMH, as the company announced two major developments reinforcing its expansion strategy in Saudi Arabia, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a new hotel in Dammam and a Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) for Corp Makkah Al Naseem Hotel. These strategic moves align perfectly with Saudi Vision 2030’s ambitious tourism goals, as the Kingdom welcomed over 37 million international visitors in 2024 and aims to attract 150 million annual tourists by 2030.

H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Faisal bin Sultan Al Qassimi, Chairman of MANAFA LLC and HMH, emphasized the importance of this expansion, stating, “The GCC’s tourism sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, with the Dubai alone recording 5.31 million international visitors in the first quarter of 2025 and Saudi Arabia emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing tourist destinations.
