Abu Dhabi’s fresh produce and agritech company Silal has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia-based agriculture technology company Red Sea Farms to implement advanced agritech solutions that enable farmers to grow crops in greenhouses while conserving up to 95 percent of water and maximizing sunlight.

“As part of the deal, Red Sea Farms will install their cooling systems in Silal’s contracted farms to compare them with the current practice of cooling greenhouses and assess the benefits of Red Sea Farms’ technologies based on water and energy efficiency, yield improvement, climate control performance, and commercial viability,” the company said.

This agreement is part of Silal’s efforts to expand alliances that use technology to assist farmers in order to enhance productivity and sustainability.

Under this deal, Silal will utilize the full range of Red Sea Farms’ technologies, which were specifically designed and developed in the region to improve desert crop production in challenging environments like the UAE.
