Vegetables & Fruits
From soil to harvest, explore the fresh Vegetables & Fruits at the heart of our farm, grown with care, sustainability, and the highest standards of quality.
From Soil to Harvest
Our Vegetable Production Division began greenhouse cultivation at Al Sulaiteen Agricultural & Industrial Complex in early 1998. Since then, we have made significant investments to modernize the agricultural process by adopting the latest technologies, all aimed at conserving water, reducing pesticide use, increasing operational efficiency, and raising production levels in both quantity and quality.
We achieve this by combining cooled greenhouses, netted greenhouses, hydroponic systems, and open-field farming, a layered approach that allows us to grow consistently throughout the year despite Qatar's challenging climate.
30+ Varieties, Grown Year-Round
Our farm produces up to 30 types and varieties of vegetables and fruits throughout the year, including cucumber, tomato, pepper, eggplant, beans, strawberry, cauliflower, zucchini, beetroot, melon, lettuce, and sweet corn, alongside a full selection of aromatic herbs (mint, parsley, arugula, coriander, dill, thyme, and others).
Current total production reaches 1,200 tons of combined vegetables and fruits per year across approximately 8 hectares, distributed between cooled greenhouses, netted greenhouses, and open fields.
Modernization & Innovation
Two core initiatives have transformed agricultural production at the Complex, helping us overcome the climatic conditions that have long posed a major obstacle to farming in Qatar.
Growing Room
Our Growing Room is fully equipped to control the growing environment, including temperature, humidity, and lighting, to achieve healthy, disease-free seed germination. It also features integrated systems for fertilization, irrigation, and recycling of irrigation water, ensuring resources are used efficiently with minimal waste.
This setup enables the germination of various types of vegetable and flower seedlings regardless of external weather conditions, ensuring a steady supply of strong young plants for both our greenhouses and open fields.
We use seeds characterized by high purity and quality, together with specialized growing media tailored to producing premium vegetable and flower seedlings.
Hydroponics
Agricultural production at the Complex has evolved from open-field cultivation to advanced soilless hydroponic systems. Al Sulaiteen was the first farm in Qatar to introduce hydroponics to the country, a milestone in the modernization of Qatari agriculture.
In a hydroponic system, plants grow in channels using an aqueous solution enriched with the nutrients and elements the plant needs, with no soil at all. Plants thrive either directly in the nutrient solution or in a suitable artificial medium, allowing precise control over growth conditions.
This technique has contributed significantly to the development of agricultural production at our farm. Its adoption has since spread across the country, helping to increase production of vegetables out of season despite the climate, and supporting Qatar's national food security.
