AL AIN, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JUNE 20: Rabbi Elyahu Cohen inspects the kosher chicken production line at Farooj Al Ain Poultry Farm on June 20, 2021 in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Kosher is a term for food produced, processed and consumed in keeping with strict traditional Jewish dietary laws. Before the Abraham Accords, which formalized relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, Farooj Al Ain Poultry Farm had an informal relationship with the local Jewish community to provide its facilities for kosher compliant chicken processing. Pre-Abraham Accords, the farm was processing around 150 kosher chickens every few months. In less than a year after the deal was signed, the farm is processing over ten thousand kosher compliant chickens for commercial needs as demand for kosher food in the UAE grows.
