From the world’s finest restaurants to the dining tables of the rich and famous, food lovers in the UAE and around the world consume vast amounts of high-end caviar each year. With dwindling wild sturgeon populations and seasonal breeding patterns, suppliers struggle to satisfy growing, year-round demand for this savory delicacy.
With this in mind, Bin Salem Holding has collaborated with UFT – AG Germany to establish a highly-efficient fish breeding and cultivation (pisciculture) farm, the first caviar farm in the Middle East and the largest pisciculture farm in the world. By breeding and cultivating sturgeon in controlled conditions, The Caviar Plant produces a variety of high quality caviar all year round, meeting the luxury food market’s demand for caviar and high-quality fish, without further damaging the population of wild sturgeon.
Essential to the survival of the region’s inhabitants for hundreds of years, the palm tree has long been revered for its hardiness and nourishing qualities. Now, by applying modern technological advances, the palm tree has gone far beyond simply producing nutritious dates, with the rest of the tree being used in innovative ways to serve the UAE population in a sustainable manner.
Bin Salem Holding’s International Innovation Group, 2ig, is at the forefront of this revolution, supporting the construction of intelligent, energy-positive buildings through the use of patented Palm Fiber Polymer (PFP) techniques and other environmentally-friendly materials and systems. PFP is manufactured through the innovative combination of palm fibers, a plentiful local resource, and polyolefin, creating a “Green” construction material that surpasses both wood and plastic in mechanical strength, fire resistance, durability and dimensional stability.
