(MENAFN- Arab Times) A Kuwaiti farmer, Yusuf Swilem Al- Kribani, has managed to grow basmati rice in Kuwait for the first time. Despite hard conditions, he grew the Indian basmati on his farm in Al-Wafra area. Eventual success has capped many failure attempts, Al-Kribani told KUNA on Wednesday.
He added that basmati needs a soil capable of holding water for longer periods such as heavy neutral soils (clay, clay loam and loamy), and to be overwhelmed by water. So Al-Kribani used closed cultivation basins with no holes. He pointed to other personal attempts to produce black tomatoes and white strawberry. This is a message that Kuwait is able to grow most crops, he noted.
