Jamal Al Ghurair, Managing Director, Al Khaleej Sugar, said: “The Emirates-Blockchain Strategy for 2021 is an initiative launched by the Emirates Government in 2018 to take advantage of blockchain technology. Al Khaleej Sugar implements the most advanced technologies to tokenize commodities and digitize trade amid the COVID-19 pandemic moreover Al Khaleej Sugar is set to update current trade options and tokenize up to 100,000 tonnes of raw sugar. PwC research has shown recently that widespread adoption of blockchain could bring the global economy an additional $1.7 trillion over the next 10 years”
