The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) and Qatar Development Bank (QDB) on Thursday launched an initiative to encourage production of table eggs in Qatari farms.
At a press conference on the sidelines of AgriteQ and EnviroteQ exhibitions on Thursday, Director of Animal Wealth Department at the MME Engineer Abdulaziz al Zeyara said, “The aim of this joint initiative is to achieve food security in Qatar. The idea is to enable Qatari farmers to set up table egg production projects within the registered farms. Financed by QDB, the projects will contribute to increasing egg production and achieving food security.”
Zeyara indicated that the initiative includes the establishment of 8 medium-sized projects to produce table eggs in registered farms. Four projects will have with a production capacity of 22 million eggs per year and the other four projects will produce 33 million eggs per year. The total production capacity will be 220 million eggs per year.
These projects will be subject to full technical support by specialists in the ministry, he said.
The eligible applicant for these projects shall be a Qatari owning a registered farm free from any irregularities. The location for the establishment of the project will also be a factor for eligibility, he added.
He said the application for these projects will be opened for three months starting from March 24.
Executive Director of Development Department at QDB Khalid Abdulla al Mana said the bank seeks to achieve a high percentage of self-sufficiency from various productive sectors.
The bank has close cooperation with all ministries and competent authorities in the state to find appropriate and effective mechanisms for the development of all productive sectors in the country, especially projects related to food security, he added.
The launch of the table egg initiative in Qatari farms is part of the bank’s programmes aimed at developing the Qatari private sector, especially the agricultural and livestock sector.
Through this initiative, the bank aims to encourage Qatari farmers to set up projects to produce table eggs within the country’s registered farms.
He also addressed QDB’s requirements to grant investors loan to build his project, calling on all Qatari farm owners to apply to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.
