Also, according to FAO, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the two largest importers of whole milk powder, butter, and cheese. Therefore, the major instruments used by the government to stimulate the imports are a reduction in tariffs, import subsidies and (subsidized) state trading, and distribution.
