Dava Agricultural Company a flagship in Saudi Arabia

A prime example of this expertise is the DAVA Agricultural Company project in Saudi Arabia. Developed entirely by Debets Schalke, this over 100 hectare sustainable greenhouse complex is the largest horticultural investment in the Kingdom and the largest hydroponic facility in the MEA region. DAVA Agricultural Company enables year-round, pesticide-free production of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and various lettuce varieties—setting a new benchmark for sustainable, high-tech agriculture in the Middle East. During the GreenTech exhibition in Amsterdam, Debets Schalke and DAVA Agricultural Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate a new large-scale greenhouse project. This agreement marks the continuation of a successful partnership and reinforces both parties' commitment to advancing high-tech, sustainable horticulture in the region.

Kunming project in China

In Kunming, China, the company has commenced construction on a high-tech greenhouse facility for Kunming Anthura Horticulture Co. Ltd. This project highlights Debets Schalke’s growing presence in the Asian market and its ability to deliver tailored solutions for advanced horticultural production under diverse environmental conditions.
