Innovation
Developing cutting-edge technologies engineered specifically for extreme heat and scarcity.
Transforming Sudan's Agriculture Through Climate-Resilient Innovation
Pioneering sustainable food production in one of the world's toughest climates using patented geothermal cooling and hydroponic technology.
About us
Founded in 2022, Awatif is a Sudanese innovation-driven company committed to overcoming Sudan's extreme agricultural challenges—surface temperatures above 46°C, annual rainfall of just 200–300 mm, and urgent food security needs. Our founders reframed these obstacles as design requirements, engineering entirely new solutions rather than adapting traditional greenhouses that fail in this climate.
From Khartoum headquarters and our production farms in Al Seilat and Gezira State, we create jobs, empower local farmers, and pioneer climate-resilient agriculture as a pathway to sustainable economic growth in Sudan.
Our mission and values
We aim to pioneer agricultural systems that ensure food security, promote environmental sustainability, and create economic opportunities in Sudan and other arid regions.
Sustainability
Using clean energy and water-efficient methods that reduce resource use by up to 90%.
Inclusivity
Empowering local communities through skilled training and technology transfer to foster independence and growth.
Technology highlights
Patented geothermal cooling
Sudan's first patented system uses stable underground temperatures (18–24°C) to maintain optimal growing conditions, reducing energy consumption by 25–50% compared to air-conditioning.
Hydroponic farming
Soil-free, nutrient-rich water systems that use up to 90% less water, enable year-round crops like strawberries, lettuce, and tomatoes, increase yields, and reduce pesticide use.
Cold chain ecosystem
A full suite of cooling from vacuum freeze and hydrocooling to cold storage and refrigerated transport preserves produce quality for local markets and export.
Solar energy integration
Solar power reduces operational costs and environmental impact by powering hydroponic pumps, cooling circulation, and cold chain facilities.
Engineered structures
Facilities incorporate 3D insulated wall panels, semi-underground designs, and strategic orientation to minimize heat gain and enhance energy efficiency.
Services
Turnkey farm development
Custom design, installation, and operation of climate-controlled farming systems leveraging geothermal cooling and hydroponics.
Geothermal cooling installation
Energy-efficient cooling solutions for farms, commercial, and residential buildings.
