Protected farming.
A new chapter of growth.
A planned project for 500 greenhouses on a 200-feddan site in Najd, diversifying vegetables and selected fruit crops.
PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Closer control of growing conditions.
A broader crop range.
We plan a phased development, starting with site and water assessment and growing-system trials, then expanding implementation based on results. Target crops include tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers, courgettes and strawberries.

PROTECTED FARMING · DEVELOPMENT PLANTest suitability before scaling production
Crop and technology choices follow trial results; protected farming does not by itself guarantee year-round production.
Design for the site
Review water salinity and quality, temperature and humidity, ventilation, shading and cooling needs, then compare operating costs with the target market.
Measurable trial results
Begin with a limited unit and measure saleable production, water and energy use. Assess pest management, food safety and operating skills before scaling up.

PLANNED CROP RANGE
The next crops on our horizon.
The following crops are part of our development plan. Explore their characteristics and discuss our plans for growing them.
PLANNED CROP
Sweet peppers
Crisp fruit for salads and cooking, included in our greenhouse development plan.
Oman pepper production, all types · 2025 · preliminary187,216 tonnes
The national figure covers all pepper types, not sweet peppers alone.

Strawberries
Delicate, aromatic fruit for fresh eating and desserts, included in our plans to diversify greenhouse production.
Not separately reported in the reference table
Table 2-5 does not list strawberries separately; the other-fruit total is not attributed to this crop.

National figures cover different growing methods; they are not greenhouse-only or Al-Ataa production figures.
01
Crop requirements
The greenhouse plan takes the different growing requirements of each crop into account.
02
Water management
Irrigation needs and water management are priorities in planning this development.
03
A broader crop range
The greenhouse plan would add vegetables and selected fruit crops to our current range.
Let’s discuss the next step.
We welcome your interest and proposals related to this direction.
