Qatar to raise its level of self-sufficiency in eggs production from 28% to 65%
Qatar is ready to raise its level of self-sufficiency in eggs production from 28% to 65%, according to Gulf Times newspaper. The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) and Qatar Development Bank (QDB) are going to offer support for 8 medium-sized projects to produce eggs in registered farms.
These eight projects are divided into four projects with an annual production capacity of 22mn eggs each, and another four with a capacity of 33mn eggs each, announced Abdulaziz al-Zeyara, director of the Animal Wealth Department at the MME.
Khalid Abdulla al-Mana, executive director of Business Finance at QBD, stressed that the bank "aims to encourage Qatari farmers to set up projects to produce eggs within the country's registered farms, reflecting its drive to accelerate the self-sufficiency of animal products in general and table eggs in particular as an important food product". All the applicants shall be Qatari and own a registered farm free from any irregularities, mentioned Abdulaziz al-Zeyara, who also encouraged the farmers to take advantage of this “extraordinary opportunity”.
