Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Municipality, represented by the Agricultural Affairs Department, announced the commencement of operations at the local agricultural produce markets for the 2025/2026 season, starting tomorrow, Thursday, November 6, 2025. These markets will be located in Al Khor, Al Thakhira, Al Wakrah, Al Shamal, and Al Shahaniya, while the Al Mazrouah market will continue to operate year-round.

The launch of the new season comes as part of the Ministry's efforts to support and enhance the marketing of local agricultural produce and to open direct sales channels between farmers and consumers. 

The markets will be open to visitors every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from 7AM to 3PM, with the participation of more than 100 Qatari farms offering high-quality agricultural products.

This initiative, implemented by the Ministry of Municipality, contributes to strengthening and sustaining local agricultural production and expanding participation among Qatari farms, in line with the state's vision for achieving sustainable agricultural and economic development within the framework of Qatar National Vision 2030 and the National Food Security Strategy.

The agricultural markets, along with the Katara Harvest Festival and the Agritech Exhibition Market, aim to create direct marketing channels between farmers and consumers, eliminating the need for intermediaries. This ensures fair returns for farmers and empowers consumers to access fresh, high-quality local produce.
