President of Singapore visits Baladna

Singapore President Halimah Yacob visited Baladna Food Industries as part of her recent diplomatic tour to the country. This visit underscores the evolving relationship between Singapore and Qatar, marked by a shared commitment towards issues such as food security, sustainability, and agricultural development, a Baladna statement said Thursday.
Managing director Ramez al-Khayyat and CEO Malcolm Jordan met with President Yacob as she was led on a tour of Baladna’s state-of-the-art facilities, which included an exploration of the cutting-edge BFI Plant and extensive farming facilities with the senior management team.
Commenting on the visit, al-Khayyat said: “We are honoured to receive Singapore President Halimah Yacob, at Baladna farms. This visit is another step forward in Qatar and Singapore’s strong bilateral relations, and we look forward to continuing our conversation on how we can collaborate on food security efforts and agricultural initiatives.”
The visit marks a new development in Baladna’s ongoing strategy to expand its successful model of dairy self-sufficiency and circular economy approach towards sustainable agriculture to support food security efforts in other countries, including Algeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and more, the statement added.
