The objective of this study was to assess the impact of subsidy policy on sustainable agricultural products of camel in the UAE. In this study, enterprise budgets, policy analysis matrix (PAM) and measures of economic protection were used. Using the Private Cost Ratio (PCR) of 38%, the result of the study indicated that the costs or the invested money were less than the achieved value added. However, the Domestic Resource Cost (DRC) was (3.62), indicating inefficiency input use which means that the UAE does not have a comparative advantage in camel production. The Nominal Protection Coefficient for tradable Outputs (NPCO) was 1.14, indicating that the adopted agricultural policy allows that the market price will be larger than the social price by 14% (3200/2800= 1.14). This indicated protection for camel.
