Profile
Haif Farm is located in Um-Al-Sha'al Area, about 1 km west of Riyadh Al-Kharj Highway, some 25 km away from Al-Kharj, just 2 km after exit No. 8 toward Al-Kharj. The Farm, which was developed more than 15 years ago, occupies an area of 10,007,840 m2, with more than one third of its area is cultivated with palm trees and seasonal plants, mainly wheat and berseem (clover). In the meantime, we plan to start production of vegetables in green houses.
In Haif Farm, we apply sound farming practices in growing palm trees and other seasonal plants as well as proper protection of dates to minimize dependence on chemical pesticides. We also apply high standards of veterinary and agricultural techniques to ensure the highest standards of production. Haif farm includes more than 100 well-trained employees and farmers to perform all farming activities from plough to marketing of products including the proper cultivation and storage practices. For irrigation, we use agricultural water wells and advanced center-point irrigation systems, which are leading to steady improvement and expansion of the cultivated area and production.
In all of our activities, we
highly observe the hygienic conditions and environmental protection. We always
place great importance on increasing the environmental awareness of our
employees.

1. Area
