Abdali Farms (Kuwait)

Weather…

Abdali is situated in the northernmost part of Kuwait, adjacent to the border with Iraq, and serves as one of the nation's two vital agricultural belts. The region is characterized by its expansive plains where, despite the arid environment, a diverse range of crops including grains, fodder, and various fruits are cultivated using groundwater and precision irrigation. During the cooler winter months, Abdali becomes a highly popular retreat for city dwellers seeking a connection with nature. Many farms have embraced agritourism, offering seasonal activities such as strawberry picking, farmer's markets, and traditional desert camping experiences. The area is also a major center for livestock farming, particularly sheep and goats, contributing significantly to the local meat supply. Its strategic location on the border has also made it a key logistics and transit point. Despite facing environmental hurdles like sandstorms and high evaporation rates, Abdali remains central to Kuwait's strategy for food self-sufficiency and agricultural innovation.
