We were having 20k sqft of barren land. We came with an idea of cultivating
crop on this unused land. Thus, we got in touch with Al Tijarat al Raabehah,
who counselled us and connected us with an expert, who guided us to grow
seasonal fruits such as strawberry, yellow red watermelon and Muskmelon
that has given us high returns in short period. We now plan to rent/purchase
new land to plant chilies and soybean to grow our agriculture business.
Moving forward we also plan to do organic farming by using modern irrigation
techniques.
