Doha, Qatar: Baladna Food Industries, a subsidiary of Baladna Q.P.S.C., has achieved a major milestone by securing an In-Country Value (ICV) certification score of 82.47% under Qatar’s “Tawteen” program, a national initiative aimed at localizing supply chains and maximizing economic value within the country.

This outstanding ICV score places Baladna at the forefront of Qatar’s food industry in terms of local value creation, underscoring the alignment of its operational strategies with the objectives of the ICV program. The score reflects Baladna’s high domestic expenditure on local procurement, workforce training, and investment in fixed assets.

A high ICV score offers tangible advantages in public-sector procurement, as companies with stronger local value creation receive preferential consideration in government tenders. This positions Baladna as a strategic partner for national projects and government-led initiatives.

The achievement comes as Baladna continues to demonstrate strong operational performance and accelerated regional and international expansion. The company recently signed preliminary agreements for the first phase of an integrated agro-industrial project in Algeria, established a subsidiary in Egypt to boost operational efficiency, and secured board approval for a comprehensive industrial venture in Syria.

Marek Warzywoda, Group CEO of Baladna, commented on the achievement:
