National Soil Quality Assessment: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Find out how registered farms in the UAE can obtain a comprehensive report on soil nutrients and salinity levels.

This scheme provides registered farms with a detailed analysis of their soil to help manage land health and monitor environmental conditions.

Who it's for

This assessment is available to all registered farms within the country. To be eligible for the testing process, your farm must be officially recognized and registered under the appropriate regulatory frameworks.

What you get

You will receive a comprehensive soil nutrient and salinity report. This document provides essential data regarding the specific nutrients present in your soil and the level of salinity. Having this information is vital for understanding the health of your land and making informed decisions about your agricultural practices.

What it costs you

The scheme requires you to manage the logistics of the testing process. You are responsible for the costs related to the collection of your soil samples and the subsequent shipping of those samples to the laboratory for analysis.

The catch to know

It is important to remember that the results provided in your report are only valid for 12 months. Because soil conditions can change due to weather, irrigation, and farming methods, you may need to repeat the assessment process annually to ensure your data remains accurate and useful for your farming decisions.

How to apply

  1. Verify that your farm holds a current official registration.
  2. Arrange for the proper collection of soil samples directly from your farmland.
  3. Organize the shipping of these collected samples to the authorized laboratory.
  4. Monitor your communications to receive your final nutrient and salinity report.
