Unlocking Sustainable Agriculture with Liquid Humic Acid in the Middle East

Soil Health. Water Efficiency. Crop Success.

In the face of climate stress, salinity, and water scarcity, the agriculture sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the MENA region is undergoing a transformation. Farmers, agribusinesses, and governments are actively seeking solutions that enhance soil health, boost crop yields, and conserve water.

At Innovo Path Group, we deliver innovative liquid humic acid solutions designed specifically for desert farming, greenhouse agriculture, and sustainable food production across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman, and other MENA markets.

Backed by science and field-tested in the region’s toughest growing conditions, liquid humic acid is fast becoming a core input in next-generation farming across the Middle East.

What is Liquid Humic Acid?

Humic acid is a natural compound extracted from decomposed organic matter (leonardite or peat). It plays a crucial role in improving soil fertility, nutrient absorption, and water retention. In liquid form, humic acid becomes a fast-acting, easy-to-apply solution ideal for UAE farming systems, including:

  • Greenhouse farming

  • Hydroponics and soilless agriculture

  • Date palm cultivation

  • Vegetable production in sandy soils

  • Drip and pivot irrigation systems

Benefits of Liquid Humic Acid for Agriculture in UAE & MENA

1. Boosts Soil Health in Saline & Sandy Soils

Liquid humic acid helps bind loose particles in sandy soil and neutralizes salt levels. In saline-rich soils of UAE and Saudi Arabia, this results in stronger root development and better soil structure.

2. Improves Water Retention

By increasing the soil’s ability to retain moisture, farmers can reduce irrigation needs by up to 30%—a critical benefit in water-scarce countries like the UAE and Jordan.

3. Enhances Nutrient Uptake

Humic acid chelates nutrients, allowing plants to absorb nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements more efficiently. This translates to better yield and higher-quality crops with reduced fertilizer input.

4. Promotes Root & Shoot Growth

In UAE trial farms, crops treated with humic acid showed 18–25% faster root development and better shoot height, especially in lettuce, cucumber, and tomato crops.

5. Supports Organic & Sustainable Farming

Our liquid humic acid is non-toxic, biodegradable, and aligned with organic farming standards. It allows MENA producers to meet growing demand for chemical-free produce in global export markets.

MENA Market Potential & Growth Drivers

The Middle East and Africa humic acid market is expected to grow from $45.9 million in 2022 to $95.8 million by 2030, with the UAE and Saudi Arabia leading adoption due to:

  • Expanding greenhouse and hydroponic farms

  • Government-backed food security initiatives

  • High demand for fertilizer efficiency and water-saving inputs

  • Shift towards climate-smart agriculture

In the UAE, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) and private farms across Al Ain, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah are already integrating humic substances into their desert farming models.

Application in UAE Agriculture & Desert Farming

📍 Greenhouses in Al Ain & Dubai

Farmers apply Humic+ Foliar via misters to boost resilience during summer heatwaves, resulting in 15–20% higher crop uniformity.

📍 Date Palms in Abu Dhabi & Liwa

Humic-Drip improves root moisture uptake and nutrient utilization, leading to better fruit quality and yield stability.

📍 Hydroponic Farms in Ras Al Khaimah & Oman

Humic acid used in nutrient solutions improves root zone oxygenation and leaf density in leafy greens and herbs.

Strategic Impact for the MENA Region

  • Reduces fertilizer dependency, aligning with sustainable input mandates.

  • Cuts water usage, helping meet national water conservation goals.
