- Our Correspond­ent

As part of efforts to stimulate the economy and support the agricultur­al and industrial sectors, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MHUP) has allocated over 155 acres of land through the Tatweer platform for investment in North Sharqiyah.

Within this allocation, 19 plots of land are earmarked for investment opportunit­ies, strategica­lly distribute­d across the governorat­e.

MHUP has designated ten opportunit­ies for grape cultivatio­n projects, and nine for agricultur­al and industrial ventures, including three for establishi­ng water bottling plants and six palm cultivatio­n and date production projects.

The ten investment opportunit­ies for grape cultivatio­n projects will be provided in the wilayat of Ibra, covering a total area of 100 acres. The plots in

Al Haima are strategica­lly located near Sharqiyah Expressway, where conditions are favourable for grape cultivatio­n.

The six investment opportunit­ies for palm cultivatio­n and date production are located in the Tawi Hamad area of the wilayat of Bidiyah, totalling an estimated area of 55.5 acres. These projects will utilise agricultur­al land belonging to the Ministry of Agricultur­e, Fisheries and Water Resources, with modern agricultur­al infrastruc­ture facilitate­d through private sector investment.

The three opportunit­ies for establishi­ng water purificati­on and bottling plants are in Ibra, Al Qabil and Sinaw. All three projects, spread over an estimated 2,000sqm each, will employ cutting-edge technologi­es and equipment to ensure filtration, sterilisat­ion, packaging and distributi­on of water in compliance with stringent health standards.
