Pegasus Agriculture group, one of the leading owners and operators of hydroponic farming facilities in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena), has expanded its farms in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Hydroponic farming is a method of growing plants using mineral rich nutrient solutions in water, without soil.

With its dry desert climate, the company identified the need to provide sustainable solutions to local food production and reduce the heavy reliance of food imports within the UAE, the company said.

Pegasus Agriculture Group operates from its head office strategically located in Dubai.

With over 150 years of combined market experience, Pegasus Agriculture Group continues to the lead countries of the Mena region in technologically advanced farming techniques, it said.

Mahmood Almas, chairman of Pegasus Agriculture Group, said: “This is an exciting time for us as we continue to focus on reducing the reliance on imported food through investment in food manufacturing farms using the latest technology, research and development and supply chain transparency.”

“Our vision is to continually innovate and strive to be the leading operator and global provider of Hydroponic farming facilities in the region,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
