This visit underscores the evolving relationship between Singapore and Qatar, marked by a shared commitment towards issues such as food security, sustainability, and agricultural development.

Managing Director  Ramez Al Khayyat and CEO Mr. Malcolm Jordan met with H EYacob as she was led on a tour of Baladna’s state-of-the-art facilities, which included an exploration of the cutting-edge BFI Plant and extensive farming facilities with the senior management team.
