Qatar’s path
to self-sufficiency
In July 2017, His Excellency Mr Mohammed
Abdullah Al Rumaihi, Minister of
Environment and Municipality, said he
expects Qatar to be 100% self-sufficient
in vegetable production by 2020.
Since then, Qatar has established four
agriculture projects, which will enable
Qatar to produce 80 thousand tons of fresh
vegetables and fruits annually.
More than 500 greenhouses with a total area
of 280,000 square meters have been added to
the existing capacity of local farms between
July and November 2017.
