Emirates Flight acquires Bustanica

  • Bustanica’s 330,000sqft facility has the capacity to grow more than 1 million kilograms of leafy greens a year.
  • Its produce is available across all major retailers in the UAE such as Spinney's, Waitrose, Carrefour, and Choithrams.

Dubai, UAE — Emirates Flight Catering has fully acquired Emirates Bustanica, formerly called Emirates Crop One, and its consumer brand Bustanica, the world’s largest indoor vertical farm.

Located near Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai World Central, Bustanica’s 330,000sqft facility has the capacity to grow more than 1 million kilograms of leafy greens a year, equivalent to 3 tons daily, while using 95 percent less water than conventional agriculture.

Operating under the brand name Bustanica, the produce is available across all major retailers in the UAE such as Spinney’s, Waitrose, Carrefour, and Choithrams.

Since its launch in July 2022, Bustanica has become a part of UAE’s dinner table conversations, thanks to its growing range of leafy greens, herbs and microgreens that can and should be eaten straight out of the box – even tap water can contaminate the produce. The firms said Bustanica’s produce is grown without pesticides or herbicides, and is 100 percent clean, fresh, and nutrient-rich. Bustanica produces a variety of lettuce, spinach, parsley, and kale.
