Production at hydroponic farm in Madinah tops 2m kg

RIYADH: A hydroponic farm in Madinah is becoming a model for sustainable crop cultivation after generating more than 2 million kg of produce. Using 20 air-conditioned agricultural halls spanning 183,000 sq. meters, the facility grows mostly lettuce, celery, rosemary, wild thyme and basil, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday. The farm has many environmental and economic advantages over traditional agriculture, including reducing fertilizer use by up to 60 percent and water use by as much as 90 percent. These qualities are in line with the National Water Strategy 2030 and the nation's broader drive to improve environmental sustainability. Ayman Al-Sayed, director general of the Madinah branch of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, said that modern agricultural technologies were helping to improve production efficiency and quality while supporting food security and the National Agricultural Strategy. He highlighted the ongoing support for farmers through agricultural subsidy programs and development plans aimed at boosting the competitiveness of Saudi agricultural products on local and international markets.

Where We Are Going Today: ‘Prime Cut' in Riyadh

If you enjoy burgers with hearty fillings, Prime Cut in Riyadh is worth trying. With branches in Shorofat and Al-Olaya, the restaurant has a steady following. The Angus patties are served hot and fresh. I recommend the Prime Classic for the signature taste, or the Smoky Burger and Prime Double if you prefer something meatier. For those who like spice, the Spicy Prime Burger is a good choice, while the Crispy Chicken Burger offers a crunchy texture. The ambiance at Prime Cut is especially noteworthy after sunset when the lighting creates a cozy atmosphere. However, there were some downsides during my visit. While the food is generally well prepared, I found the service inconsistent. At one point, I asked to add lettuce to my burger, but the manager refused, citing their policy against modifications. This rigidity affected the overall experience. On delivery, the meal did not fully meet expectations. The Prime Cut Burger was dominated by pickles, and the Crispy Chicken Burger lacked the expected crunch. The fries were acceptable, but the Prime Cut sauce was unremarkable. I gave Prime Cut a third try with a dine-in visit. The dim lighting made the menu hard to read at first, but the atmosphere was pleasant once adjusted. The Smoky Burger was flavorful, while the spicy option had a noticeable kick. Both regular and sweet potato fries were crisp, and the wings were served with a smoky sauce. Prime Cut is a reasonable choice for flavorful burgers and a relaxed setting, although improvements in service and consistency would enhance the experience.
