Its technology helps produce such as lettuce, basil, parsley, and mint grow on a vertical bed of soil within repurposed shipping containers.

Vertical Field develops a vertical agriculture farm that helps crops grow in urban cities. Maher Makalde, CEO and Partner of ESST added that its “goal is to establish food security that is independent of imports and to develop a high-quality agricultural infrastructure that reaches the retail market.” With the help of various agricultural technologies and new developments, we believe that we can successfully align the demands of the market with competitive prices without compromising quality- and most importantly with increased access and availability.” Arid desert regions face many challenges surrounding the production of high-quality agricultural produce at low prices.

“The Makalde Group brings forty years of experience and wide knowledge in the field of agricultural inputs and resources and we bring the innovative technology.

“This collaborative project is a first-of-its-kind partnership that offers Vertical Field’s innovative agricultural technologies to the Emirates and the Gulf Region,” explained Guy Elitzur, CEO of Vertical Field.
