Few crops present a starker contrast to the fields our team is used to than palm trees grown under the Saudi sun. From 3 to 9 April 2026, Roberts Leitāns travelled to Saudi Arabia to meet with palm tree growers and see first-hand how cultivation looks in a climate defined by heat, sandy soils, and very different water constraints.
The conversations focused on what growers are dealing with season to season — irrigation efficiency, soil structure, and how to get more resilience out of limited organic matter. It’s exactly the kind of environment where a biostimulant like our Hortimed Humus tends to come up in discussion, and it did, as growers asked how it might fit into their existing root-care routines.
It was a demanding trip in every sense, but a valuable one — a reminder of how differently our products need to be understood depending on where in the world they’re being used. Thank you to the growers who welcomed Roberts and shared their experience so openly.
