The idea was mooted during the visit of the Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa to farmers market Hoorat A’ali. The Deputy PM also met several agricultural investors and farmers during the meeting of Works, Municipalities Affairs. The meeting was also attended by Urban Planning Ministry’s Undersecretary for Agriculture and Marine Resources, Dr. Nabeel Mohammed Abu Al-Fateh.
