Bahrain allocated 12 agricultural plots in the Buri area to local farmers as part of efforts to strengthen food security and boost domestic agricultural production, officials said.

The plots, covering a total area of 81,996.93 square metres, were distributed to Bahraini farmers through a public tender on the Government Land Investment Platform. Each plot ranges between 6,000 and 8,000 square metres and will be leased under 10-year contracts, including a one-year grace period to establish farming infrastructure.

Wael bin Nasser Al Mubarak, Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister said the initiative reflects continued national support for the agricultural sector and aligns with Bahrain’s broader push for sustainable development and local empowerment.

He said farmers will receive ongoing technical and advisory assistance through field visits and specialised teams to ensure long-term productivity, while infrastructure works are underway to extend irrigation networks and support modern farming techniques.

The agreements were signed by Agriculture and Animal Wealth Affairs Undersecretary Asim Abdulatif Abdullah with 12 Bahraini farmers, in the presence of Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa, Secretary-General of the National Initiative for Agricultural Development.
