"We are doubling down on our thesis, on our business model and growing more aggressively" - Majed Halawi As the development of controlled-environment farming builds around the world, Simon Harvey speaks with Majed Halawi, the vice president for growth at Abu Dhabi-based Pure Harvest, about the company's growth plans. Pure Harvest in Abu Dhabi has ambitious plans to become a regional powerhouse across the Middle East of fruits and vegetables grown in a controlled, indoor environment, as the emirate seeks to reduce reliance on food imports. Five years since the business was founded in 2016, Pure Harvest has a third facility about to come on stream in the United Arab Emirates, and two more in the pipeline in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
