Ekthaar Agricultural LLC
Ekthaar Agricultural LLC, an embodiment of sustainable innovation within the Bin Dasmal Group, has
scripted a unique narrative in the realm of agriculture. The Arabic term “Ekthaar,” meaning ‘growing,’
encapsulates the ethos of this subsidiary, committed to implementing the three R’s—reduce, reuse, and
recycle.
The journey began within the Dubai Investments Park compound, where Ekthaar pioneered a construction
waste management program. Ingeniously repurposing waste materials, including steel scaffolding
and metal shelving units, the company laid the foundation for innovative farming infrastructure. This
strategic collaboration with Bin Dasmal Engineering Technologies and Management significantly
reduced construction costs, minimized ecological impact, and conserved natural resources.
Ekthaar’s sustainable farming solutions include containerized Controlled Environment Agriculture
(CEA), exemplifying advanced hydroponically-based agriculture. These units, utilizing a mere five
percent of soil and water resources, yield fresh produce year-round. The symbiosis of horticultural and
engineering techniques optimizes crop production, quality, and efficiency, showcasing the profound
impact of sustainable innovation.
The Indoor Vertical Farming Container Model, a pinnacle of technological advancement, optimizes
crop production while minimizing environmental impact. Ekthaar played a pivotal role in selecting and
installing energy-efficient LED lighting systems, ensuring precise nutrient delivery and maintaining a
carefully controlled environment.
In the realm of hydroponic wastewater utilization, Ekthaar showcases an eco-conscious strategy. The
nutrient-rich resource undergoes meticulous management, contributing to efficient nutrient utilization
and a reduced ecological footprint. Additionally, Ekthaar’s farm waste management plan ensures the
streamlined handling, tracking, and categorization of agricultural waste, minimizing the ecological
impact of farm operations.
Beyond agricultural practices, Ekthaar has been instrumental in promoting a robust energy management
plan. Real-time consumption monitoring, standardized measurement and verification methods, and
ongoing energy tracking reflect their commitment to optimizing energy efficiency and sustainability.
