Dutch Greenhouse Delta

The Gulf region

In the dynamic landscape of the Gulf region food security, there’s an increased focus on ensuring local safe, fresh food production. A key move towards sustainability and self-reliance. The Gulf nations are in pursuit of innovative solutions and partnerships. Dutch horticulture experts, known for their sustainable practices, innovations, and advanced technologies, are eager to collaborate. Together, we can meet the rising demands for fresh produce in The Gulf nations.

Extreme climate requires innovation and sustainability

Dutch adaptive technology and resilient farming methods present opportunities to overcome obstacles which are faced in the Middle East, like water scarcity and climate change. The shortage of skilled labor poses a significant obstacle to the adoption of advanced farming techniques. By training and educating the workforce, we foster a transition towards more modern, sustainable agricultural practices.

Navigating the Future: 

Innovative farming entrepreneurs hold the future of The Gulf region. Dutch Greenhouse Delta is here to navigate these visionaries to food security, recognizing the challenges and opportunities for modern agriculture. Our platform represents the entire ecosystem of horticultural excellence in the Netherlands, consisting of leading companies, academia and government. Our integrated approach provides a comprehensive Fork2Farm solution, offering sustainability and efficiency throughout the entire value chain.

Dutch Greenhouse Delta takes the lead in orchestrating efforts to address the evolving needs of the Gulf nations, aligning Dutch horticultural excellence with the food safety strategy of Bahrein, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

We bring together stakeholders from The Gulf region and The Netherlands, fostering long-term collaboration to execute food security strategies.
