Seeding equipment in the UAE: prices, types and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Seeding equipment in the UAE ranges from about AED 30 for a hand-held seed sower to about AED 10,500 for a mini seed drill. Manual hand-push seeders usually cost AED 400 to 1,400, and broadcast spreaders AED 220 to 740. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026.

Local rules and what to check

Snippets point to amended UAE rules on importing and selling agricultural goods, and to document and compliance checks for imported industrial equipment. Ask the seller for the import documents and the supplier details before you pay. Electric equipment must suit the UAE supply of 220–240 V at 50 Hz; units built for 110–120 V need a transformer, which can complicate the warranty. Some supplier terms give 12 months of cover against defective materials and workmanship from the date of delivery, so ask for that in writing.

Season and climate

The climate is desert, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Mild weather suits sowing, while many growers hold back from open-field seeding during the very hot months and rely on irrigation. Plan delivery for your planting window rather than the peak of summer.

Delivery and how it is quoted

Ask whether the price includes delivery to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain, and whether it includes the seed box or hopper and any tractor linkage. Many listings give capacity in pounds (80 lb, 25 lb), so ask for kilograms too: 80 lb is about 36 kg. Ask for the working width in metres as well, so you can match it to your tractor.

What to write in your request

Say the seeder type (hand-held, hand-push, row seeder or broadcast spreader), the width or number of rows, the crop, and the tractor or power source you have. Add the manufacturer or model if you know it, the condition (new or used), the year, the equipment included, your delivery city and your budget in AED.

On BlaBlaPrice you write what you need in your own words, free for buyers, and can add a photo. The assistant asks for missing details such as the crop or the tractor, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact.
