DUBLIN--()--The "Middle East & Africa Desert Farming Market, By Technique (Greenhouse, Hydroponics, Nano clay, Hydrogels, Others), By Crop Type (Dates, Alfalfa, Eggplant, Peppers, Tomatoes, Melon, Others), By Country, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2028." report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Middle East & Africa desert farming market was valued at USD 63.06 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.71% through 2028.

This is attributed to the rapid change in the climatic conditions in the region. Besides, the growing demand for food security is expected to augment the growth of the desert farming market in the forthcoming years. Desert farming helps to improve food security by producing crops in areas that are vulnerable to droughts and other weather-related events. This helps to reduce the impact of food shortages in the region.

Moreover, there are other factors that are bolstering the growth of the desert farming market, such as growing water scarcity, growing technological advancements, increasing support from the government, and others.

Desert farming is an agricultural technique that involves the cultivation of crops in arid regions that were previously considered unsuitable for agriculture. In the Middle East and Africa, where large areas of land are covered by deserts, desert farming has become an increasingly important method of food production.

Growing Water Scarcity to Increase the Adoption of Desert Framing

Rising water scarcity across the region is one of the main factors bolstering the growth of the Middle East & Africa desert farming market.

The Middle East and Africa region is one of the driest and most water-stressed areas in the world. The population in the region is growing rapidly, and with it, the demand for water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes is also on the rise. However, the region has limited freshwater resources, with only about 1% of the world's total water resources available for its use.

This has led to overexploitation of groundwater and surface water sources, leading to the depletion of aquifers and rivers and causing serious environmental problems such as land subsidence and saltwater intrusion. According to the World Resources Institute, in 2019, 12 of the 17 most water-stressed countries in the world were in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The region is facing severe water shortages, due to which conventional agriculture practices are not practiced, as they require a significant amount of water. Therefore, some the desert farming techniques, such as drip irrigation, mulching, and others, are used to conserve water, control soil erosion, and increase productivity.

Technological Advancement to Boost the Desert Farming Market

Advances in technology have made it possible to grow crops in harsh desert environments. The growing technological advancements are expected to fuel the growth of the desert farming market in the upcoming years. Advancements such as drip irrigation, soil moisture sensors, shade netting, and others are making it possible to reduce the food shortage in the regions.

Also, these advancements are consistently being evolved to maintain their purpose of increasing and improving the outputs of the agricultural sector in the region meanwhile utilizing lesser energy and more sustainable methods of agriculture. Modern technologies have also been introduced to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of desert farming with time.

Growing Demand for Food Security to Promote the Practice of Desert Farming

The growing demand for food security in the region is expected to bolster the growth of the Middle East & Africa desert farming market in the forthcoming years.

Desert farming allows the production of food in regions where conventional farming is not possible. This can help to increase food availability and reduce food insecurity. For instance, the Sahel region of Africa, which is one of the driest and most arid regions in the world, has adopted agroforestry techniques, which involve planting trees alongside crops to improve soil fertility, conserve water, and provide shade.

The use of drought-resistant crops, such as millet, sorghum, and cowpeas, has also helped farmers produce food in a challenging environment. In recent years, the governments of the Middle East and Africa have recognized the potential of desert farming and have launched initiatives to support this innovative agricultural practice.

Growing initiatives to minimize the dependency of the country on the import of food supply are expected to boost the market of Middle East & Africa desert farming in the upcoming years.

Increasing Government Support to Enhance the Market of Desert Farming

In recent years, many governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have recognized the potential of desert farming to improve food security, reduce water consumption, and promote sustainable development. Various initiatives, such as increasing investments in research and development activities by the government, financial support to farmers, the introduction of policies to support desert farming, and others, are expected to strengthen the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
