Hydrovest secures US$275k to grow agritech operations and expand into UAE
The Doha based firm plans to scale production, add new products, and enter the UAE market by late 2026.
UAE – Hydrovest Technology Trading and Contracting W.L.L, a Doha-based agritech company, has secured QAR 1 million (US$275,000) from unnamed investors to support its growth and regional expansion plans.
Founder Jeacim Francis Adaya started Hydrovest in 2020 to focus on climate smart farming, hydroponic crops, and healthy food products.
The company will use the funds to move into full commercial production and complete a factory fit out at Birkat Al Awamar, Logistic Park A, Al Wakrah. The investment will also support research partnerships and prepare the business for entry into the UAE market in the fourth quarter of 2026.
“Today’s investment is a critical inflection point for Hydrovest,” Adaya said. “With this capital, we will transition into commercial-scale operations and deliver premium, nutritious options produced with data-driven farming.”
Hydrovest has gained attention in Qatar through its Lettuce Chips, a snack made from hydroponically grown lettuce. Local retailers have shown strong interest in the product, which has helped confirm demand for locally grown healthy snacks.
Product growth and regional plans
The company continues to expand its product range. Hydrovest is developing freeze dried fruits and Lettuce Tea that includes moringa, lemon, and other natural ingredients. The company aims to supply food options that contain no preservatives or artificial additives.
Hydrovest has also partnered with Japanese automotive company DENSO to study technology partnerships and grow high value Japanese melons in Qatar. The Qatar Development Bank has also listed Hydrovest as an export ready business, allowing the firm to access wider Gulf Cooperation Council markets.
Hydrovest plans to introduce AI powered hydroponic farming kits for home use. The company intends to offer both do it yourself kits and managed farming solutions. These products aim to help consumers grow fresh produce at home while supporting interest in urban farming.
By the end of 2026, Hydrovest expects to launch operations in Dubai. The company plans to build distribution partnerships, target premium retail outlets, and test export logistics within the UAE market.
Industry reports released in January 2026 estimate that the global hydroponics market reached between US$16.3 billion and US$17.2 billion in 2025.
Analysts expect the market to reach US$31.8 billion by 2030 and grow further to between US$55.4 billion and US$58.9 billion by 2035. The sector continues to grow as consumers seek reliable food supply and healthier produce options.
