Locally grown pumpkins set to fly off the shelves this seasonnbsp;

Abu Dhabi, UAE: Elite Agro (EAG UAE LLC), leading Abu Dhabi producer and distributor of fresh fruit and vegetables, has created the ultimate conditions for cultivating 25 tons of delicious pumpkins which are set to fly off the supermarket shelves this Halloween and autumn as consumers seek out locally grown and affordable high-quality produce. The pumpkins are grown at Al Foah Farm in Abu Dhabi where innovative agriculture techniques allow technology and nature to produce the ultimate environment for the perfect crop. Sprawling net houses with thousands of friendly bees ensure pollination and automated monitoring and irrigation provide the ultimate growing conditions all year round. The pumpkins are cut from the vine, dried in the fields and delivered to the supermarket shelves for October’s spooky spectacular celebrations. “We are proud to be cultivating seasonal produce, allowing consumers to choose the freshest fruit and vegetables throughout the year, grown in EAG local farms. There is often a misconception that food is difficult to grow locally due to the arid climate. The reality is that our revolutionary technology, infrastructure and farming techniques allow the production of the highest quality, freshest and most reliable harvest all year round,” commented Ian Summerfield, Elite Agro
