Growing the Future of Fresh Greens in the UAE
At Dune Farms, we cultivate premium microgreens, salads, and baby leaves using cutting-edge vertical farming. Locally grown, harvested daily, and delivered within 12 hours from harvest with care – for chefs, hotels, and households across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Our Story
Bringing chef-grade purity and freshness to the UAE, powered by innovation.
Dune Farms was born from a simple idea:
The UAE deserves greens that are as fresh, safe, and flavorful as the world’s best kitchens demand. With vertical farming technology, we saw a way to make it real — right here, closer to every table.
Our passion lies in combining cutting-edge farming systems with an uncompromising focus on purity. Every crop is grown in a fully controlled environment — no pesticides, no residues, no surprises. From lighting to nutrients to climate, every detail is monitored to deliver a level of consistency and quality that open-field farms cannot match.
With backgrounds in production technology, consulting, and hospitality, and guided by close collaboration with chefs, we set out to create produce that redefines freshness. What we grow is not just food — it’s an experience of trust, safety, and flavor, designed for the UAE’s most discerning restaurants, hotels, and homes.
A fragile fresh produce supply chain - ripe for reinvention
1
Intensive Water Use in Farms
- Traditional field farming uses up to 250l of water per single head of lettuce
- On average, the UAE itself consumes produce that requires over 100 Olympic-sized pools of fresh water every day
2
Massive Environmental & Economic Cost
- Thousands of refrigerated truck and air miles = high carbon footprint
- Cooling and packaging costs push prices up
- Meanwhile, local farming is still limited in scale, quality, and year-round reliability
3
Freshness Fades with Distance
- Produce can travel 3-6th km to reach shelf
- By the time it’s plated, leafy greens are often 5–8 days old
4
Waste at
Every Step
- 30–45% of fresh produce is lost across supply & storage stages
- In hot months, shelf life of sensitive crops drops to 1–2 days
5
A Heavily Import-Dependent System
- Over 85% of leafy greens in the UAE are imported, mainly from Europe & Asia
- This creates long supply chains, price volatility, & vulnerability to global disruptions
