Qatar boosts food security with sustainable funding
Qatar has made significant progress in enhancing its food security by developing the agriculture and livestock sectors, aiming to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on imports. The area of cultivated lands increased by 207% in 2025, with vegetable production rising to 75,000 tons, and palm farms being developed, which contribute more than 75% to the local date market. The country also recorded high self-sufficiency rates in dairy products (98-100%), poultry (98%), red meats (15%), and fish (65%), with sustainable strategies in place to develop water resources and protect the environment. The goal is to increase local production by up to 80% for some products by 2030.
