In an exciting development, the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture has unveiled a promising investment opportunity for those interested in pioneering sustainable food production. The initiative invites investors to establish an innovative fish farm utilizing aquaponics technology, all facilitated through the Furas Platform.
Revolutionizing Food Production in Jubail
Set to be located in the Jubail Governorate, this ambitious project aims to utilize a sprawling 40,000 square meters to cultivate both fish and plants. This dual-production method not only enhances local biodiversity but also significantly contributes to the Kingdom’s goals of achieving self-sufficiency and bolstering food security.
The Power of Aquaponics
Aquaponics is a cutting-edge approach that seamlessly integrates the cultivation of plants and fish. By transforming fish waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer for plants, and utilizing plant nutrients to sustain fish, this system elevates water quality and supports eco-friendly agriculture. It eschews the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, thereby enhancing crop quality and productivity while conserving the environment.
Potential investors should note that the deadline for submitting bids for this venture is November 27. All relevant terms, specifications, and documentation can be accessed via the Furas Platform.
