Silal, a food, agriculture, and technology company based in Abu Dhabi, has revealed plans to open the largest automated packhouse of its kind in the UAE, in Al Ain.

The state-of-the-art facility will be capable of delivering up to 216 tonnes of fresh produce daily, with a grading and packing area spanning 4,930 square metres, housed within a 14,000 square metre area.

The packhouse is equipped with innovative technology for post-harvest operations, including an automated system that can pack locally grown fruits and vegetables in under a minute.

The process takes into account the weight, dimension and condition of the produce, ensuring perfect results.

It is expected that the packhouse will handle 65 per cent of the company’s future crops, further bolstering the company’s role in supporting local farming.
