That’s why company executives selected a soil-less, recirculating hydroponic system in a climate-controlled environment that supports the high-volume commercial production of beef tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, herbs and other crops

With the GCC’s road-related pipeline standing at more than $76 billion as of Q1 2021, according to ResearchAndMarkets.com, the development of transport infrastructure represents big business across Gulf. However, as was the case for many industries, this sector was adversely affected by strict national lockdowns and global travel restrictions introduced to combat Covid-19. It’s therefore unsurprising that demand for motor graders took a hit during the pandemic. Fortunately, things appear to be looking up for grader manufacturers and dealers active in the region. Analysis from GlobalData, published in Q1 2022, showed that urban construction projects are driving growth across the region thanks to ongoing modernisation efforts within major cities such as Dubai, Riyadh and Cairo.

Thus, approximately 80% of the Emirates’ food is imported. Seven years ago, agricultural supplier Themar Al Emarat began planning for a hydroponic farm that would provide locally grown, pesticide-free vegetables and produce for hotels, restaurants, wholesalers, retailers and supermarkets in the region.
