"Amira's key focus is to make the Amira brand available to every household in the UAE. Amira is an acknowledged leader in delivering high quality and innovative food products to a growing number of markets across the globe, and we now want to focus our efforts in the GCC markets."
With presence in more than 25 countries, 'Quality' is the touchstone that forms the reputation of the Amira brand. Amira's premium rice products consist of the finest grains of aromatic basmati aged for a minimum of 12 months. To ensure that the finest and the most select product reaches its customers, Amira follows a stringent quality assurance process in acquiring paddy, and is vertically integrated, allowing for a fully automated, un-touched by hand, state of the art processing and packaging process.
Regular audits by accredited organizations ensure that Amira delivers the highest quality products to our customers. The products / processes are all certified by ISO 9001:2000, Safe Quality Food (which includes HACCP), the BRC (British Retail Consortium), and the US FDA.
