Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Municipality has announced the resumption of operations at local agricultural produce markets, providing residents with renewed access to fresh, high-quality Qatari farm products.

According to the Ministry, Al Mazrouah Market at Umm Salal Central Market will operate daily from 7am to 3pm. Meanwhile, markets located in Al Wakrah, Al Khor and Al Thakhira, Al Sheehaniya, and Al Shamal will open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during the same hours.

The markets feature the participation of more than 100 Qatari farms offering a wide range of premium agricultural products. This initiative reflects the Ministry’s continued efforts to strengthen and sustain local agricultural production while expanding opportunities for farm participation.

The initiative aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the National Food Security Strategy, aiming to promote sustainable agricultural and economic development. It also seeks to establish direct marketing channels between farmers and consumers, eliminating intermediaries to ensure fair returns for farmers and providing consumers with fresh, reliable local produce.

In addition to these markets, complementary platforms such as the Katara Harvest Festival and the AgriteQ Exhibition Market further support direct engagement between producers and consumers.
