In order to promote local produce, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment has taken several initiatives, one of them is that three farmers’ markets located at Al Mazrouah, near Umm Salal, Al Khor-Dhakhira and Al Wakrah are currently open for farmers to sell their products directly to the customers without any middlemen or brokers.
