Middle East & Africa Desert Farming Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.71% through 2028
Dry and depleting climatic
condition is expected to drive the Middle East & Africa Desert Farming
Market growth in the forecast period 2024-2028.
According to TechSci Research
report, “Middle East & Africa Desert Farming Market- Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast
& Opportunities, 2028F”, the Middle East & Africa desert
farming market is stood at USD 65.56 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow
with a CAGR of 5.71% in the forecast period 2024-2028. This is attributed to
the growing demand for food security in the Middle East & Africa.
Therefore, desert farming can offer an alternative for farmers that are
experiencing more frequent droughts and extreme weather patterns. Additionally,
the high dependence on imported foods can be reduced by practicing desert
farming, which can help to have more access to fresh, and healthy foods, thus,
in turn, augmenting the growth of the Middle East & Africa desert farming
market. Advances in technology, such as solar-powered irrigation systems and
hydroponic techniques, are making desert farming more feasible and efficient,
which is expected to further aid the growth of the Middle East & Africa
desert farming market in the future five years.
Hydroponics is one of the
most notable trends in desert farming which involves growing plants in
nutrient-rich water solutions, which eliminates the need for soil and reduces
water usage. This method is particularly well-suited for growing high-value
crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce in the desert region of Middle
East. Hydroponic systems is also used to grow crops in controlled environments,
using artificial lighting and climate control systems, which allow for
year-round production.
A0nother trend which is
boosting the practice of desert farming includes vertical farming which
involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers, using artificial lighting
and climate control systems. This method allows for the efficient use of space
and resources and can be used to grow a variety of crops in urban areas with
limited access to arable land. In addition, vertical farming can be used to
produce crops close to the point of consumption, reducing transportation costs
and greenhouse gas emissions.
Moreover, advancements in
genetics and plant breeding have also contributed to the development of crops
that are better suited to arid regions. Plant breeders are developing crops
that are more resistant to drought, pests, and disease, and that can thrive in
hot and dry conditions. These crops will not only be more productive, but they will
also require fewer inputs of water and fertilizer. However, the limited crop
options in the region are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Besides,
the lack of awareness among farmers about the various alternative techniques are anticipated to slow
down the growth of the
Middle East & Africa desert farming market in the
forthcoming years.
