To develop and build two test facilities on the outskirts of NEOM, a Dutch greenhouse firm will be given 120 million USD by the Saudi government.
To grow food in its harsh desert area, Bloomberg reported that Saudi Arabia had hired the Dutch greenhouse business Van Der Hoeven. By creating a horticulture oasis on the boundaries of its futuristic NEOM City, the first one-line city project in the world, which is now under development, the kingdom is ready to change the course of Saudi Arabia.
To develop and build two test facilities on the outskirts of NEOM, a Dutch greenhouse firm will be given 120 million USD by the Saudi government. Due to its dry terrain and sweltering summers, Saudi Arabia is currently developing a horticultural oasis built on land the size of 15 soccer fields, as it is entirely dependent on food imports. The monarchy has made its largest food technology investment.
According to an interview with Khaleej Times, Michiel Schoenmaeckers, chief executive officer of Van Der Hoeven, said they are building a synthetic climate where outdoor growing is difficult. The goal of Neom is to redefine the ways to produce, distribute, and consume food, according to the city’s official website.

Describing the Neom City Project
NEOM is a 500 billion-dollar future metropolis in Saudi Arabia that will run solely on sustainable energy, be devoid of automobiles, and have no streets. The projects are moving along on schedule. Crown Prince Mohammad of Saudi Arabia stated that NEOM will function independently from the existing governmental framework and have its own tax and labor regulations and an autonomous judicial system.
One of NEOM’s most audacious ideas is transforming the world’s most self-sufficient city using cutting-edge vertical farming and greenhouses. Currently, the nation imports around 80% of its food. NEOM will likely accommodate close to 450,000 people by 2026. By the year 2030, there will be 2 million. It will likely have nine million people living there eventually.
