Locally produced agricultural products will go on sale at the Al Mezrouah, Al Khor/Al Dhakira and Al Wakrah yards, informed the Ministry of Municipality and Environment.
By organizing the yards, the Ministry aims to improve local marketing of Qatari agricultural products and provide fresh national products at prices lower than those in the market.
The yards will operate on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7am to 5pm. The livestock market and animal feed stores will continue to operate throughout the week during the same hours.
A wide variety of locally produced vegetables, including high quality agricultural crops and organic vegetables, will be on sale. They are quite popular due to their high quality and low prices.
Other local agricultural products such as honey, fat, milk, eggs and fish will also be on sale this season at the yards at much lower prices than their counterparts in the market.
Some of the participating farms also offer a wide variety of fresh fruits at reasonable prices.
The Ministry of Municipality and Environment is also preparing to setup three new yards for Qatari agricultural products in Al Ruwais, Al Sheehaniya, and Al Sailiya.
The new yards will witness the participation of 50 Qatari farms, bringing the total number of farms participating in all the yards to 130.
