uTerra Middle East Agro Industries has opened its organic soil fertiliser production facility in Al Ghail Industrial Zone, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.

The milestone marked the beginning of operations for the region’s first facility dedicated to “sustainable agricultural products”, following a strategic investment of USD 20 million.

At the new 33,000 m2 facility, uTerra is employing advanced organic production processes and utilising cutting-edge technology for indoor and outdoor farming, including vertical farming techniques to enhance the production of fruits, vegetables and berries. The company said the site also focuses on manufacturing high-quality fertilisers, alongside developing cultivation methods for plants and medicinal fungi.

According to uTerra founder Dr. Anatoli Unitsky, the production of uTerra organic fertiliser and crumbly biohumus started in Belarus in 2023. “Today, the industrial output of the product is more than 1,000 tons per year,” he said. “The uTerra fertility elixir increases yields up to 30-120 percent on average, accelerates crop growth, enhances the taste and aroma of fruits, increases the content of vitamins, amino acids and minerals (macro-, micro-, ultramicroelements), protects plants and soil from diseases and pests, as well as enriches the soil with useful microorganisms and normalises soil acidity. I am convinced that the new plant in the UAE will allow to produce even more uTerra organic fertiliser, thanks to which people will be able to grow healthy food.”

RAKEZ (Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone) Group CEO Ramy Jallad added that the facility “introduces an exceptional model in the fields of sustainability and bio-agriculture, and stands as a strong example of how purposeful innovation can drive meaningful progress.”

“uTerra’s contribution is set to play an important role in advancing the UAE’s agricultural ecosystem and national sustainability agenda,” said Jallad. “As part of Ras Al Khaimah’s growing community of future-focused businesses, uTerra strengthens the emirate’s position as a hub for sustainable innovation. RAKEZ and the Government of Ras Al Khaimah remain committed to supporting the company’s continued success and growth from our platform.”
