Tarannum Malik, Managing Director talks about the beginnings of Al Aliyo HydroFarms

Al Aliyo HydroFarms is a hydroponic fodder farm that aims to fill the need for local animal fodder instead of depending on imported ones. This idea came to her during the pandemic when local farms and zoos were hard-pressed to find alternative solutions when supply was low. She stressed that the easy procedure for company formation, support of HFZA management, and facilities provided like the pre-fabricated warehouses were the reasons why she decided to set up her full operations in Hamriyah Free Zone. At present, her goal is to cater to more local farms by increasing her production from 12,000 kilos to 50,000 kilos per day to meet the demand of the market.
