In 2024, vegetable markets and Mahaseel reportedly sold more than 37,000 tons of local vegetables. This shows that the Ministry of Municipality’s programs to help farmers grow more crops have been very successful.

A total of 150 local farms participated, and the markets sold 13,081 tons of local vegetables in the 2023-24 agricultural season. This is a huge increase compared to the 889 tons sold in the first season of the program in 2012-13.

In 2024, Mahaseel for Marketing and Agriculture Services Company received 24,000 tons of vegetables worth 68 million riyals from 199 local farms.

Mahaseel works to support local agriculture and achieve self-sufficiency by promoting farmers’ products and providing agricultural services. The company purchases vegetables through two programs: pre-contracting (Daman) and daily contracting.

The Ministry of Agriculture provides several ways for local farms to sell their products, including five vegetable markets, two programs in large stores, and Mahaseel.

In 2024, 880 tons of dates were sold in Qatar, compared to 513 tons in 2006. This is part of the Ministry’s “Date Distribution Program” to help support local date farming and improve food security.

The Ministry assists farmers by providing equipment such as greenhouses, modern irrigation systems, hydroponics, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and packaging boxes. They also offer land preparation machinery and equipment such as plowing and leveling.

In 2024, the ministry provided agricultural equipment to 400 farms, with a target of 441 farms for 2024-2025. They are also encouraging farmers to switch to modern irrigation systems to save water and increase crop growth. In 2023, 276 farms received new irrigation systems, and in 2024, 124 farms received them.
