The yards for selling fresh local farm products are being readied for opening on Thursday to concur with the upcoming agricultural season, a senior official has said.

The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME)’s Agricultural Affairs Department has chalked out plans to develop the Al Mazrouah, Al Wakra, Al Khor-Al Thakhira, Al Shamal and Al Sheehaniya yards

Around 1,000 tonnes of locally produced vegetables have been sold at the five yards for selling local agricultural products, located in Al Mazrouah, Al Khor-Al Thakhira, Al Wakra, Al Sheehaniya and Al Shamal

The prices of locally produced vegetables have seen a considerable drop compared to the prices of the previous weeks at the yards

The upcoming 8th season of the yards for selling local agriculture and farm products will feature products from 125 Qatari farms

The number of local farms taking part in the yards selling Qatari agricultural products has reached 90 with an increase of 10 farms in just one month from the start of the season.
