The wave of vertical farming is not new in a region like the Middle East, specifically in the UAE, where we see not only thousands of successful vertical farms operating but also big players including Uns Farms, Emirates Bustanica, Pure Harvest Smart Farms, Badia Farms, and more who are revolutionizing how we produce fresh fruits and vegetables.
Today, via this short write-up, we will learn about one of these vertical farms - the Uns Farms - also known for being UAE's first-ever largest hydroponic farm in the country, founded in 2018 by Mr Moiz Tayebali Lokhandwala, a thought leader who already knew that if something could change the fate of the farming business in UAE – it has to be the vertical farming.
Uns Farms located in Dubai, UAE is a hydroponics farm that offers salad mixes, fresh fruits and hydroponically grown vegetables to its consumers.
