Along the winding desert highway, drive northward from Doha, the capital of Qatar, for about 1 hour. You can see a wall and several vegetable greenhouses. This is the alfadan farm in the desert.

Each row of growing vegetables is equipped with slender tubes to supply nutrient solution for vegetable growth.

In addition, the top of the greenhouse is equipped with various special light tubes to promote the photosynthesis of vegetables, which can adjust the light color and light intensity as required to cultivate green and purple vegetables. The shed is equipped with air conditioner, sensor and computer, which can regulate temperature, humidity and light.

The technology is very advanced and the economic benefits are the most obvious, which will play a great role in Qatar's implementation of the "food and vegetable security strategy".

Qatar is a desert country. There is no natural arable land in the country. Grain, vegetables and meat mainly depend on imports. In recent years, Qatar has focused on economic diversification and is committed to improving food production capacity, especially vegetable production. To this end, Qatar has issued the "food and vegetable security strategy", striving to increase its vegetable self-sufficiency rate from the current 35% to 70% by 2023.

Fahd, the owner of alfadan farm, believes that in order to achieve the goal of 70% vegetable self-sufficiency rate, in addition to increasing the state's investment in agriculture, we should also speed up the introduction of agricultural high-tech and comprehensive agricultural technology. China's high-tech agriculture will undoubtedly effectively help Qatar implement the "food and vegetable security strategy".

Gao Yuntao, Fahd's partner and general manager of intelligent LED plant factory, said that the comprehensive agricultural planting technologies such as hydroponics and three-dimensional cultivation technology used in this farm can greatly improve the land utilization rate, save water and fertilizer and resist the impact of high temperature and humidity, so it is highly praised in Qatar.

At present, the vegetables produced by the above Chinese technology have developed from two varieties of one rape and one lettuce three years ago to more than 30 varieties in demand and high price in the Qatar market, including six kinds of lettuce, four kinds of kale, five kinds of pepper, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, etc.

Fahd said that the high and new agricultural technology of China's intelligent LED plant factory has greatly improved the economic benefits of the farm. This high-tech is not only an important guarantee for the development and growth of the farm, but also helps to promote the agricultural development of the region. (source: Xinhuanet)
