NEW FARMING METHOD DEVELOPS SUSTAINABLE CROP SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR QATARI CLIMATE

A detailed report on the results of cultivation of tomatoes and cucumbers is
published today after one year in operation of the Hydroponic Trial and
Demonstration Center opened by Agrico, QAFCO and Yara International in February
2019. The Trial and Demonstration Center was established to test local
greenhouse technologies, nutrient management and best horticultural practices.
During the trials the parties have succeeded in their  main objective of
 developing a sustainable crop management system suited for the Qatari climate
with  high yields and productivity while conserving precious local water
resources and limiting any negative impact of vegetables production on the local
environment. Click here to view the report.

The Trial and Demonstration Center’s growing Area is 3,750 square meters,
situated on a plot at Agrico Farm in Al Khor. The Center was designed and built
by Agrico using technology, knowledge and expertise accumulated during 10 years
of experience operating in protected agriculture in Qatar. The Center is jointly
operated by Agrico and Yara Agronomists while QAFCO gives full agricultural
analytical support for substrate, water and leaves testing in the QAFCO Lab in
Mesaieed.

All crops in the Trial and Demonstration Center are grown hydroponically, a
method of growing fruits and vegetables without the use of natural soil. The
crops are grown in substrate (for example coco coir, perlite, and rock wool)
that is constantly fed with nutrient solutions. This way of growing reduces the
risk of plants being exposed to soil diseases and allows saving of water,
fertilizers and agro-chemicals.

All plants are constantly fed with nutrient solution via a drip irrigation
system that precisely combines water and required nutrients. The nutrient
solution is prepared from Yara’s fertilizers and is tailored for each crop and
each stage of growth.

The quality of the facilities, high professionalism of the agronomists and the
quality of the materials used in cultivation  achieved an astonishing highest
yield of 33 kg of tomatoes per square meter per year in multispan plastic
greenhouse with evaporative cooling. This result is 6 times higher than the
average productivity in Qatar and 50% higher than the best Qatari farmers could
achieve by using the similar technologies.

Multiple training sessions and workshops were conducted at the Center for the
local farming community, farm developers and industry regulators. Furthermore
the Center has conducted workshops for schools and institutions who are
interested to learn more about agriculture and hydroponics.

QAFCO, Agrico and Yara share the data generated during the trials including
nutrient regimes, climate conditions and crop monitoring, as well as other
lessons learned from the Trial and Demonstration Center, to educate and support
Qatari farmers. The full report from the trials can be downloaded from Agrico
and QAFCO web site.

Mr. Abdulrahman M. Al-Suwaidi, QAFCO Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer, said,  “This trial and demonstration center will help develop as well
as educate local farmers of the best available practices that can help them
produce more while sustaining Qatar’s local resources. QAFCO is proud to
contribute towards Qatar’s goal of agricultural self-sufficiency.”

AGRICO General Manager, Mr. Nasser Al-Khalaf expressed: “During the first year
of the trials we have demonstrated great results, the best agronomical knowledge
and cultivation practices to the local farming community. We are happy to share
our experience and the lessons learned with all interested parties to contribute
to the development of farming in Qatar with the goal to achieve self-sufficiency
in fresh vegetable production”.

Carol Khadra, Yara’s agronomist added: “The achieved yields of more than 30 kg
per square meter is a great proof to other farmers what is possible to produce
in Qatar climate with application of right nutrients, fertigation methods and
crop management practices. I am very proud to contribute to the success of the
first year of the trial and I am aiming for better results next year”.

in Qatar climate with application of right nutrients, fertigation methods and
crop management practices. I am very proud to contribute to the success of the
first year of the trial and I am aiming for better results next year”.

NEW FARMING METHOD DEVELOPS SUSTAINABLE CROP SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR QATARI CLIMATE

A detailed report on the results of cultivation of tomatoes and cucumbers is
published today after one year in operation of the Hydroponic Trial and
Demonstration Center opened by Agrico, QAFCO and Yara International in February
2019. The Trial and Demonstration Center was established to test local
greenhouse technologies, nutrient management and best horticultural practices.
During the trials the parties have succeeded in their  main objective of
 developing a sustainable crop management system suited for the Qatari climate
with  high yields and productivity while conserving precious local water
resources and limiting any negative impact of vegetables production on the local
environment. Click here to view the report.

The Trial and Demonstration Center’s growing Area is 3,750 square meters,
situated on a plot at Agrico Farm in Al Khor. The Center was designed and built
by Agrico using technology, knowledge and expertise accumulated during 10 years
of experience operating in protected agriculture in Qatar. The Center is jointly
operated by Agrico and Yara Agronomists while QAFCO gives full agricultural
analytical support for substrate, water and leaves testing in the QAFCO Lab in
Mesaieed.

All crops in the Trial and Demonstration Center are grown hydroponically, a
method of growing fruits and vegetables without the use of natural soil. The
crops are grown in substrate (for example coco coir, perlite, and rock wool)
that is constantly fed with nutrient solutions. This way of growing reduces the
risk of plants being exposed to soil diseases and allows saving of water,
fertilizers and agro-chemicals.

All plants are constantly fed with nutrient solution via a drip irrigation
system that precisely combines water and required nutrients. The nutrient
solution is prepared from Yara’s fertilizers and is tailored for each crop and
each stage of growth.

The quality of the facilities, high professionalism of the agronomists and the
quality of the materials used in cultivation  achieved an astonishing highest
yield of 33 kg of tomatoes per square meter per year in multispan plastic
greenhouse with evaporative cooling. This result is 6 times higher than the
average productivity in Qatar and 50% higher than the best Qatari farmers could
achieve by using the similar technologies.

Multiple training sessions and workshops were conducted at the Center for the
local farming community, farm developers and industry regulators. Furthermore
the Center has conducted workshops for schools and institutions who are
interested to learn more about agriculture and hydroponics.

QAFCO, Agrico and Yara share the data generated during the trials including
nutrient regimes, climate conditions and crop monitoring, as well as other
lessons learned from the Trial and Demonstration Center, to educate and support
Qatari farmers. The full report from the trials can be downloaded from Agrico
and QAFCO web site.

Mr. Abdulrahman M. Al-Suwaidi, QAFCO Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer, said,  “This trial and demonstration center will help develop as well
as educate local farmers of the best available practices that can help them
produce more while sustaining Qatar’s local resources. QAFCO is proud to
contribute towards Qatar’s goal of agricultural self-sufficiency.”

AGRICO General Manager, Mr. Nasser Al-Khalaf expressed: “During the first year
of the trials we have demonstrated great results, the best agronomical knowledge
and cultivation practices to the local farming community. We are happy to share
our experience and the lessons learned with all interested parties to contribute
to the development of farming in Qatar with the goal to achieve self-sufficiency
in fresh vegetable production”.

Carol Khadra, Yara’s agronomist added: “The achieved yields of more than 30 kg
per square meter is a great proof to other farmers what is possible to produce
in Qatar climate with application of right nutrients, fertigation methods and
crop management practices. I am very proud to contribute to the success of the
first year of the trial and I am aiming for better results next year”.
