Silal has signed a Musataha agreement with KEZAD Group. This was announced at the Abu Dhabi International Food Exhibition (ADIFE), to establish two cutting-edge AgTech initiatives in Al Ain Industrial City focused on sustainable farming and local food production.
The first initiative, in collaboration with Iyris, is an indoor farming project spanning 50,000 square meters, equivalent to 10 football fields. Dedicated to cultivating berries, the project addresses the challenges of growing high-quality produce in the UAE's desert climate.
The second initiative focuses on utilizing advanced controlled-environment agriculture technologies across 100,000 square meters to cultivate high-value crops. It employs cutting-edge methods to drastically reduce water consumption, minimize carbon emissions, and maximize year-round yields.
Salmeen Alameri, CEO of Silal, highlighted the potential of these initiatives. "These flagship initiatives underscore our commitment to advancing the UAE's agricultural sector."
