UNS Vertical Farms leads mini-green revolution in UAE. The global microgreens market was estimated to be $2.59 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is driven by increasing consumer awareness of their nutritional benefits, rising demand for premium food products, and the popularity of urban and indoor farming techniques.

Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested just a few weeks after germination, usually when they are about 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) tall. Microgreens are known for their intense flavours and concentrated nutrient content, making them a popular addition to dishes for both their taste and health benefits.
