Bahrain's food security measures
The analysis focuses on Bahrain's efforts to enhance its food security over the past decade, through a 98.2% increase in vegetable production, rising from 15,200 tons in 2015 to over 30,000 tons in 2025. This progress has been driven by modern techniques such as protected agriculture, which saw a 96.7% increase in production. Additionally, the value of food imports in 2025 is approximately 771 million Bahraini dinars, with diversified sourcing and distribution across 178 countries, emphasizing Gulf and regional sources to strengthen resilience. Amid fluctuating global prices and an increase in food inflation to 8.1% in 2026, the importance of diversifying food sources and boosting local production becomes evident to achieve sustainable food security. This approach aims to balance expanding domestic production with sourcing from various sources to ensure continuous supplies and future self-sufficiency.
