Farms for sale in United Arab Emirates

Establish whether the seller owns the land, holds an allocation or occupies it under lease, and whether transfer is permitted. Confirm the registered agricultural activity, boundaries, access rights and any restrictions on buildings or commercial use.

Verify the agricultural holding registration, trade licence and approvals applicable to crops, livestock, food handling, wells, pesticides or onsite sales. Check expiry dates and whether authorities must approve a new owner, manager or activity.

Confirm each water source, entitlement, meter, storage tank and irrigation network. Compare monthly consumption with planted area and crop cycles, test water quality where relevant, and price leaks, desalination, pumping and planned network replacement.

Reconcile harvest or livestock records with invoices, buyer receipts, input purchases and bank deposits for several seasons. Analyse yield by plot or herd, rejected output, weather losses and sales made through related parties or cash channels.

Physically inspect machinery, irrigation equipment, greenhouses, cold rooms, livestock, seed, feed and chemicals. Verify ownership, service history and useful life, and separately value obsolete stock, leased equipment and assets financed or pledged elsewhere.

Review employment contracts, work permits, accommodation, payroll, end-of-service benefits and seasonal labour needs. Check compliance with summer heat protections and estimate recruitment, transport and supervision costs if key farm workers will not remain.
