The fourth edition of the Bahrain Farmers Market will be opened on 5 December 2015 at the Budaiya Gardens.

More than 35 Bahraini farmers will participate to provide a variety of local agricultural products.

Many leading local restaurants will participate to present local food and drinks with the aim of introducing local food to the visitors of various nationalities.

Bahrain Farmers Market targets promoting Bahrain's agricultural products and highlighting the development taking place in Bahrain's agricultural sector. It also aims to contribute to improving the Bahraini farmers' income through a marketing system prepared by the Agriculture and Marine Resources to assist in meeting the farmers' aspirations.
