Riyadh: The State of Qatar took part in the 38th General Assembly of the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD), which was held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Thursday. The Qatari delegation to the meeting was headed by HE Minister of Municipality Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah.
In his speech at the meeting, His Excellency affirmed that the State of Qatar has made wide strides in the areas of food security as well as agricultural, animal and fishery production, thanks to its continuous support and attention to this vital sector.
He indicated that during the past five years, this support in addition to the efforts of agricultural producers, contributed to achieving a significant increase in production, leading to a 98 percent increase in fresh vegetable production and a 100 percent self-sufficiency in the animal production sector in fresh milk, dairy products, and fresh poultry.
His Excellency noted the great attention that the State of Qatar attaches to the fish production sector, and its endeavor to sustain it through development programs, most notably the "Aquatic Research Center".
