NRTC Group has completed the full acquisition of Ripe Organic, a UAE-based organic food brand known for its local farm partnerships and consumer following. Under the agreement, NRTC Group will take over the Ripe Organic brand, product range, trademark, digital assets, and e-commerce operations. The group also plans to work with more than 150 organic farms across the country following the integration.
NRTC Group indicated that the acquisition forms part of its wider expansion into the organic and clean-label segment. The company noted that the move aligns with national food-security objectives and internal growth plans. Ripe Organic will be incorporated into NRTC Group through a phased transition process, with the brand identity retained. Operations will shift into NRTC's processing, logistics, and distribution network.
According to NRTC Group, the integration is expected to expand its presence across retail, B2C, and e-commerce channels and enhance supply-chain oversight through its digital governance systems.

A company statement said the acquisition will support expanded product development, including additional organic fruit and vegetable lines, new grocery categories, and wellness-oriented offerings. NRTC also plans upgrades to Ripe Organic's e-commerce platform to improve fulfilment and delivery operations.
The group added that the combined operations will broaden product availability for consumers, create extended planning opportunities for UAE growers, and offer unified quality standards for suppliers across retail, HORECA, and digital channels.
A spokesperson for Ripe Organic said, "For more than a decade, Ripe Organic has been committed to bringing clean, sustainable, and healthy food choices to UAE consumers. Joining NRTC Group allows us to strengthen this mission with greater scale, operational excellence, and distribution reach. This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter as we expand our offering and continue to inspire healthier living across the nation."
