Move follows historic seed investment of US$ 5.5million
Pure Harvest Smart Farms, a tech-enabled arid climate agribusiness based in the Abu Dhabi, recently announced the successful commissioning of its inaugural high-tech greenhouse.
Immediately following commissioning, the company also planted its first-ever crop. Pure Harvest aims to be part of the solution to the region’s growing food security, water conservation, and sustainability challenges.
Pure Harvest’s proprietary solution has positioned the company as a pioneer of high-yielding, year-round production of fresh fruits and vegetables. The inaugural greenhouse was developed in partnership with Certhon Greenhouse Solutions, a leading Dutch designer and builder of modern greenhouses.
“The early results are very promising. We’re just a little over a month into production and to-date we’ve been able to create a near-perfect climate for the plants, even when the temperatures outside reached over 46 degreesC and humidity over 82% observed Sky Kurtz, Co-Founder and CEO, Pure Harvest.
“We are excited about the growth potential of our business. We are beginning to realize our shared mission to produce delicious, healthy, sustainably-grown fresh produce – grown right here in the UAE,” commented Majed Halawi, Pure Harvest’s Chief of Staff.
