Description
This project aims to establish a modern, large-scale greenhouse farm for the production of high-quality leafy vegetables, including lettuce, arugula, coriander, and spinach. Using controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and advanced irrigation systems, the project targets consistent, year-round production with high yields and reduced water consumption compared to traditional farming. The produce will cater to local markets, the GCC region, and global markets, addressing growing demand for fresh, safe, and sustainably produced greens. The project is designed to align with national food security goals and promote agricultural innovation in the Dhofar region
