The Fruit Basket Competition was created to provide an opportunity for tourists and local visitors to discover local Emirati agricultural production. The competition includes different varieties of fruits that are locally produced and originating from the garden or the farm owned by the participant.

The unique and pioneering competition aims at encouraging farmers to care for the local fruit production, and maintain this type of agriculture. The competition also comes as part of the efforts made by the organising committee of the festival to improve the quality of the local fruit production. The total value of the prizes for this new competition reaches AED 100,000 (AED 50,000 for the top winner, AED 30,000 for the winner of the 2nd position, and AED 20,000 for the winner of the 3rd position).
