Khalid Butti Al-Shamsi is the owner of Mazaraa Organic Products
which operates the first organically certified farm in the United Arab Emirates.

On his expansive farm 15 kilometres east of Abu Dhabi International Airport, Mr. Al-Shamsi is literally growing fruits and vegetables and raising livestock from, and on, sand. According to the season, he is able to produce over 100 different types of fruits and vegetables. And with plans for a dairy in the near future, the sky is the limit for this local pioneer.
