Hydroponic farm construction in Manama: nFT flatbed hydroponic farm with lettuce, built by Kryzen

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Manama? Manama is in the emirate of Ajman, United Arab Emirates[1]. We have used the monthly climate for Manama to plan a structure, a growing system and a crop calendar, so you can compare them with your own plot and buyers.

Climate for hydroponic farm construction in Manama

June is the hottest month in Manama, with average daily highs of about 40°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 16°C.[2] Rain is scarce: about 102 mm a year. Water for the farm will come from a borewell, well, tanker or municipal supply, so test its salts (EC) and hardness before choosing the system. On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Manama falls in the hot desert zone (BWh).[3]

Which greenhouse suits Manama?

For hydroponic farm construction in Manama, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Manama comes with dry air. In May to August, average highs reach 40°C while average humidity is only about 48%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 40°C June afternoon down to roughly 32°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, which keeps herbs and vine crops going; lettuce will still struggle in the hottest weeks. For vine crops such as capsicum and cucumber, a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen works from November to March and costs less to run.

Protected structures to compare

Sunlight peaks in June at about 7.3 kWh per m² a day, so add a shade screen for leafy greens in the brightest months. A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in February to April and November to December, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Manama

Based on Manama's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are basil (10 months), cucumber (10 months) and mint (8 months). Basil fits September to June with Fan & Pad cooling. Strawberry is hard to time here, so we would leave it out of the first season. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Manama.

Hydroponic farm construction in Manama: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Manama?

Yes, with the right structure. For Manama we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in May to October, so plan another crop for those months.

Which polyhouse is best for Manama?

With June highs of about 40°C and 45% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.

Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Manama?

Going by the monthly climate, basil, cucumber and mint have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.
