Farm in Qatar

I am wondering if there is any farm in Qatar providing vegetables and fruits for local demand. Or all of them are imported from overseas. Most of the vegetables in Carrefour, for example, are from outside qatar, like US, or UAE,or Kuwait,etc.

Anyone knows the vegetable growing in Qatar?

Thanks

Most the farms I know don't sell to the public but to catering companies. Qatar doesn't have large scale farms as yet. Water is expensive and hard to come by.

Try the vegetables market... I think most of the production there is local (or from nearby)...

The farm is called Rakhiya Farm and the govt had ambitious plan to increase the production capacity.At present its unable to cope with the demand.
