As much as 447 tonnes of vegetables sold during July through the Premium Products and Qatar Farms programmes, including 140 tonnes sold through the Premium Products and 307 tonnes through Qatar Farms Products.
The locally produced vegetables are available at the major shopping malls such as LuLu Hypermarket, Carrefour, Al Meera, the Family Food Center, and others all year round. The Ministry of Municipality Agriculture Affairs Department in cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry supervise these marketing programmes, which aim at improving the sales of the Qatari vegetables and increase the demand on them locally, in addition to reducing the potential waste to the minimum. Further, the programmes aim at increasing the income of the Qatari farmers and encourage them to invest more in the agriculture field.
