He further praised the support provided by the Ministry of Municipality to local farms.“All the farms receive support, including beehives, beekeeping equipment, and training for workers on honey production techniques,” he added.
The exhibition aims to promote locally produced honey and support national farms engaged in beekeeping and high-quality honey production. It also serves as a platform for farmers to market their products and raise public awareness about the significance of honey as a natural and nutritious resource.
The Umm Salal Winter Festival has also hosted exhibitions for dates and flowers, drawing attention to various locally sourced agricultural products.
The honey exhibition, which is part of Qatar's national beekeeping project launched in 2013, is held in the Umm Salal Central Market, a venue that attracts around one million visitors annually and also houses vegetable, fish, and fruit markets.
