of Spain's fresh produce value sits in regions facing the most severe water shortages.of the Gulf's food is imported. Fresh herbs mostly arrive by air, repriced with every fuel spike.
Spanish reservoirs are collapsing.The Gulf imports most of what it eats. We install sealed, water recycling produce units in your car park and contract the output. Physical risk becomes contracted certainty. Zero municipal water draw. Zero food kilometres.
The basins are draining faster than the boardrooms can reprice them.The region flies its dinner in, priced in someone else's harvest.
The next supermarket supply chain has to generate its own water, cool itself, and stand where the customer already is.
01 · Context
of Spain's fresh produce value sits in regions facing the most severe water shortages.of the Gulf's food is imported. Fresh herbs mostly arrive by air, repriced with every fuel spike.
reservoir capacity in Andalusia, the country's largest producing region.what Dubai charges commercial users for desalinated municipal water. Growing in open air here means buying water at industrial prices.
annual production value at risk in the Andalusia basin alone.of natural freshwater per person per year across the Gulf. The UN absolute scarcity threshold is 500.
The crisis is concentrated where the produce is grown. When the basins run dry, supermarket shelves run empty.
02 · The unit
Reservoir collapse, cold chain fragility, and Spanish summer heat all stop at the container wall. The unit generates its own water, recycles its own humidity, and cools itself without mechanical refrigeration. The engineering sits behind the technical tab below for buyers who need to verify it.
03 · Value proposition
Traditional fresh produce pricing is built on three variables you cannot control. Ours is built on two you can.
Three exposures, none of them yours, all of them rising.
One number, contracted, indexed only to inflation.
04 · The cost today
The line items where the cold chain hurts the worst. Imported, perishable, scarce when reservoirs drop.The line items where the airfreight hurts the worst. Imported, perishable, repriced with every heat record. The price your store pays today against the contracted price AgriLoop delivers from a unit in your car park.
05 · Supermarket savings
The six herbs your store loses the most margin on. Basil, cilantro, mint, chives, tarragon, microgreens. Pick one. The calculator shows your current cost (wholesale plus shrink plus cold chainchilled handling) against AgriLoop's contracted price per kilo. Indicative only, full assumptions in the data room.
06 · Investor
Each unit deployed is a contracted, indexed monthly cashflow stream from an investment grade procurement partner. The product the supermarket buys is supply chain certainty; the asset we operate is the unit.

For buyers and ESG teams who need to verify the engineering. Skip if you only need the numbers.
Every supermarket already generates greywater, from floor cleaning, produce misting, and staff facilities. We capture it and pass it through a sand and gravel reed bed whose roots digest impurities biologically. A solar powered UV pass brings the water to EU food grade compliance before it reaches the plants. External water supply, eliminated.
Plants transpire moisture as they grow. In a standard greenhouse this humidity is lost to ventilation. A hydrophilic film on the container ceiling captures that vapour, condenses it into droplets, and returns it directly to the plants below. The result is a self sustaining microclimate that recycles its own humidity without a single mechanical part.
Damp palm fibre Persiana mats cool incoming air by up to 10 °C through evaporation. The same principle has cooled Spanish water for centuries in the traditional Botijo clay vessel. A passive thermal chimney uses solar heat to draw the hot air up and out, pulling the cool breeze through the plant racks without an electric fan.
08 · Timing
Three forces converged in 2024 and create the opening for a defensible, water resilient produce platform. Build infrastructure ahead of the repricing, and the platform becomes a category before competitors can respond.
Billions in EU funding earmarked for water digitalisation and urban green transitions in Spain map directly onto AgriLoop unit economics.The UAE National Food Security Strategy 2051 targets first place in global food security. ADIO AgTech incentives and Vision 2030 programmes fund exactly this class of infrastructure.
Andalusian agricultural land and crop insurance are repricing live as drought becomes the new baseline. First mover infrastructure wins the deal flow.The Gulf imports up to 85% of what it eats, repriced with every fuel spike and heat record. Local production wins the hedge.
National retailers are under contractual pressure to decarbonise their supply chains. AgriLoop is shovel ready infrastructure that ticks every box.The Gulf already runs the world's largest vertical farm. Bustanica ships a million kilograms a year into Spinneys, Carrefour and Choithrams. The buyer behaviour is proven; the car park is the next step.
09 · Go to market
Every segment shares the same physical product. Different counterparties, different sales motions, identical underlying unit economics.
ESG conscious procurement directors replacing variable, water dependentimport dependent supply with a fixed, predictable infrastructure lease. The pitch: convert physical risk into contracted certainty.
Luxury hotels and resorts in water stressed tourist destinations already pay a premium for quality and provenance. Zero KM, locally grown produce is a natural fit for their positioning.
Bio and organic focused retailers in Madrid and BarcelonaDubai and Riyadh already command a premium for Zero KM produce, serving as proof of concept partners before scaling through national chains.
10 · The ask
We're raising to deploy two flagship units, validate sell through with national procurement, and lock in EU NextGeneration co funding before the next allocation cycle closeslock in Gulf food security incentives while the programmes are funding exactly this.
Every unit deployed is a recurring, contracted cashflow stream backed by a supermarket grade counterparty. The water crisis is already repricing agricultural land and insurance across Andalusia and the Segura basin.The import bill is already repricing every produce contract from Dubai to Riyadh. The window to build infrastructure ahead of that repricing is open now.
Two flagship units in design. EU NextGeneration co funding application underway.ADIO AgTech incentive conversation underway. Anchor counterparty introductions in motion. Pilots shipping 2026.
