What is the name of the agricultural oasis district located in northern Kuwait near the Iraqi border, famous for greenhouse farming, dates, and poultry production?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Al-Abdali
- Step 1: Al-Abdali is Kuwait's principal northern agricultural district, situated in the Jahra Governorate adjacent to the Iraqi border.
- Step 2: Along with Al-Wafra in the far south, Abdali relies on deep groundwater aquifers and sophisticated greenhouse technology to produce vegetables, forage crops, poultry, and date palms in an arid desert environment.
- Step 3: It supplies a significant portion of Kuwait's fresh produce market.
Answer
Al-Abdali.
Why not the others: 'Al-Wafra' is the southern agricultural farming hub near the Saudi border; 'Al-Shuwaikh' is an urban commercial and industrial zone in the capital; 'Al-Farwaniya' is a densely populated residential governorate.
