The 5th Qatar International Agricultural Exhibition (Agriteq 2017) is set to open tomorrow at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center — expecting to attract the participation of more than 100 local and global leading agriculture companies.
The latest edition will feature five international pavilions and host a number of seminars, workshops, and panel discussions to enable exchange of experiences and knowledge sharing for the local sector’s further improvement.
Sheikh Dr Faleh bin Nasser Al Thani, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agricultural Affairs, Livestock and Fisheries and Head of Agriteq 2017’s Supervisory Committee, said: “The participation of many international stakeholders reflects the growing awareness of experts and institutions concerning the agricultural sector’s important role in Qatar’s economic diversification to achieve self-sufficiency in agricultural and vegetable production. This can be achieved by enhancing local food industries and reducing import dependency."
