Leafy Greens Greenhouse Project in Qatar
Leafy greens are Qatar's flagship food-security crop: short 28–40 day cycles, high turns per year and shelf-life economics that strongly favour local production over airfreighted imports.
The specification is semi-closed cooled glass or polycarbonate with dehumidification for coastal humidity, NFT or DWC hydroponics on desalinated water, and condensate plus drain recovery. Low-tech tunnels are not viable at Qatari summer conditions.
Cheap electricity offsets part of the cooling burden, but water remains the constraint: closed hydroponics, condensate capture and reject-brine planning belong in the base scope.
What does a leafy greens greenhouse cost per hectare in Qatar?
Indicative planning ranges are USD 1.5–3.2 million per hectare for semi-closed cooled CEA with hydroponics, dehumidification and water infrastructure — before land, and before any vertical-farm add-on.
All figures are indicative planning ranges for feasibility work — not quotations. Final specification and pricing come from qualified suppliers and engineers.
