Oman’s NKK Investments, UrbanKisaan to bring new farming practices to GCC to amplify output, reduce costs

An Oman-based company has teamed up with an agritech startup from the US to transform farming practices across the GCC.

As a part of a new strategic joint-venture between Nailesh Kanaksi Khimji (NKK) Investments and UrbanKisaan, the companies plan to introduce advanced hydroponic and vertical farming technology to Oman. The partnership seeks to empower local agriculturalists to cultivate higher yields with fewer resources by employing technology that will allow crops to grow with minimal water and land utilisation. The practice is expected to amplify output, reduce costs, and decrease the overall carbon footprint.
