Last September, the total volume of premium local vegetables sales was 598 tons, including 293 tons marketed through the Premium Products Program and 305 marketed through Qatar Farms Program.
with an increase of 11% in sales compared with the last year (2020).
Local vegetables of Premium Product and Qatari Farm Product are available in the major malls, such as Lulu Hypermarket, Carrefour, Al- Meera Hypermarket and Supermarket, the Family Food Centre and other facilities.
Local products marketing programs are monitored by the MME in cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
MME depended on both programs, the Premium Product and Qatar Farms Programs, to market Qatari vegetables in the consumer complexes to offer an opportunity to the Qatari farmers to offer their local products of first class ? high quality Qatari vegetables in the consumer complexes. This opportunity helps the farmers offer their products with affordable prices to the consumer without the need of intermediation in the sale process and without charging farmers any commission fees for such service.
The local products marketing programs also target developing the local Qatari vegetables marketing methods, raising the demand for local vegetables products within the State, decreasing ? as much as possible ? the wasted products, and increasing the Qatari farmer revenues, in order to promote the rise of investment in the agricultural sector and render the local vegetables available in the consumer complexes over the year.
