Dates production to reach 27,000 tonnes: MME
The Peninsula
The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) has projected the dates production for this year to reach 27,000 tonnes, achieving a 76 percent rate of self–sufficiency.
MME added that Qatar imports approximately 10,000 tonnes of dates annually. In contrast, Qatar exports multiple varieties dates through Hassad Food Company with its subsidiary Nafco, which produces dozens of different dates. The Ministry has urged people to know the types of Qatari dates by visiting the 6th annual Local Dates Festival at Souq Waqif, continuing until July 30. It is from 4pm to 10pm.More Related News
