Fourth edition of Mara’ee on way

Manama  : The fourth edition of the Bahrain Animal Production Show (Mara’ee) will be held from March 27 to 31, under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. 

Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Minister, Essam Khalaf, said the show, which will be held at the Bahrain Endurance Village, will be open to the public from March 28 to 31, from 09:00 am to 09:00 pm.

The minister was speaking while visiting the Bahrain Endurance Village to review the preparations for this year’s edition of Mara’ee. 

Mara’ee, now in its fourth edition, is one of the largest shows held in Bahrain. Previous three editions were a huge success with record turnout.

“Mara’ee was launched in accordance with the royal vision to promote Bahrain as a hub for international specialised animal production shows, given their role in consolidating food security in the country,” the Minister said adding that the show has evolved into an investment and recreational, as well as a platform for researchers and exhibitors to meet and exchange expertise.

Around 90 exhibitors will take part in the cattle, sheep and goat exhibition section set apart for presenting breeds for milk and meat production. The five-day expo will also see the participation of about 1000 bird exhibitors. 

“Mara’ee 4 will provide a good opportunity to exhibitors, as well as cattle and bird traders to sell their products, conclude deals and exchange expertise,” the Minister stressed. 

The event will also feature shows and competitions, and the winners will be honoured. 

Minister Khalaf said that the current edition focuses on local producers and companies to help them enhance the quality of their products.
