Abu Dhabi Government Spends $100 Million to Promote Vertical Farm Development


 In order to develop hi tech agricultural facilities, Abu Dabby Investment Office (ADIO) plans to invest $100 million in research funds in four agricultural technology companies, hoping to solve the problem of local food production by building the world's largest R & D vertical farms and more commercial farms. Adio's partners include AeroFarms, Madar Farms, RNZ and RDI.
 
Among them, aerofarms, an American manufacturer, will build an 8200 square meter indoor vertical farm in the local area, put into R & D, and commercialize local key crops. Manufacturers say that their unique indoor vertical agriculture technology can save up to 95% of the water compared with traditional farms, and does not use pesticides at all.
Meanwhile, Madar Farms, a local agricultural technology manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates, will build a commercial indoor tomato farm with only LED technology as lighting source. At the same time, Madar Farms is also committed to expanding its commercial distribution of micro vegetables, economizing on the use of natural resources in Abu Dhabi and providing a local self-sufficient crop supply pipeline.
 
In addition, RDI mainly develops irrigation systems to support agricultural production and research, while RNZ plans to build an innovation and commercial R & D Center for agricultural technology.
 
According to the Arab News, the Persian Gulf countries must import 80%-90% food to meet domestic demand, and the outbreak of New Coronavirus has seriously affected the food supply chain. Therefore, the ADIO's investment in solving the problem of food supply in Arabia is inevitable.
 
Influenced by COVID-19, vertical agriculture has gradually become a focus issue in food production, especially in many parts of the world, and the importance of food self-sufficiency is highlighted. At the same time, vertical agriculture is also expected to enhance the demand for agricultural LED, as one of the main forces to promote the overall LED market.
