Spokesperson: Andrea Sartoris, General Manager, Dibba Bay Oysters

Dibba Bay Oysters combines premium quality with local heritage, sustainability, and global ambition. Under General Manager Andrea Sartoris, the brand is redefining gourmet aquaculture in the UAE—building with purpose, leading with heart, and always staying curious.

Purpose-Driven Gourmet Aquaculture

Andrea Sartoris was drawn to Dibba Bay Oysters by its authenticity and bold ambition. The farm produces a globally competitive oyster grown in Dibba’s pristine waters, all while honoring local identity and marine ecosystems. Consequently, the brand stands as a symbol of the UAE’s future in sustainable food security.

Market Strategy Locally & Internationally

Domestically, Dibba Bay Oysters has sharpened its commercial strategy with chef and hotel partnerships, culinary collaborations, and farm tours. Internationally, the brand now targets East Asia through optimized export operations, trade-show participation, and PR campaigns. Moreover, its 48-hour freshness promise gives Dibba Bay a distinct edge overseas.

Reef Creation: A Sustainability Initiative

Sustainability at Dibba Bay Oysters is foundational, not cosmetic. The Reef Creation Project deploys artificial reefs to regenerate biodiversity. Additionally, oysters act as natural biofilters, and the farming process uses no feed, antibiotics, or chemicals. Through scientific monitoring and pursuit of global certifications, the farm gives back more to the ocean than it takes.

Ensuring Freshness & Quality at Scale

A vertically integrated model lets Dibba Bay control every step, from harvest to dispatch. As a result, oysters reach most UAE customers within 24 hours and global hubs within 48 hours. Furthermore, advanced cold-chain logistics, frequent team training, and rigorous audits ensure that quality is consistently delivered.

Storytelling for Luxury Audiences

Storytelling is key for Michelin-starred chefs and premium venues. By inviting culinary partners to the farm and sharing Dibba Bay Oysters’ sustainability story, the brand creates emotional connections that elevate menu narratives and guest experiences.

Regional Challenges & Opportunities

Building awareness for oysters in a non-traditional market requires education on safety, service, and taste. However, the UAE’s rising culinary sophistication and drive for food self-sufficiency offer immense opportunities. First-mover advantage and government support position Dibba Bay Oysters to shape the region’s aquaculture landscape.

Leadership Values in Action

Andrea Sartoris champions clarity, consistency, and care. Cross-functional collaboration, open communication, and mentorship foster innovation and accountability. As a result, a shared purpose unites over 180 professionals, ensuring that Dibba Bay Oysters not only grows but thrives.
