Alberto Vecchi, Italian Ambassador, Bahrain visited BIGS to present a special piece of equipment given by Italian Company Atlantic Man to NIAD. The presentation took place at the UNIDO stand in Hall 1 which showcased several companies from Italy.
The machine called a Seeder Promaster (working with compressed air) is a new technologically advanced machine with a step sowing system that can automatically drill and sow over 80 trays of 160 holes in an hour. The company selected NIAD due to the vision and dedication to the agriculture sector.
NIAD was launched by Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka in March 2010 with the aim of unifying efforts to develop the agricultural industry in Bahrain so that it can contribute to Bahrain’s advancement economically, socially and environmentally. Her Royal Highness chairs its consultative council and personally oversees the progress of all activities along with distinguished representatives of the public and private sectors.
