Speaking at the opening ceremony, Qatari Minister of Municipality and Environment Mohammed bin Abdullah al Rumaihi stressed that the organization of AgriteQ 2018 is a vision of his King, part of a strategy to promote the development of the national agriculture sector in order to diversify the economy, to increase self-sufficiency, capacity and gradually reduce dependence on imports of food and foodstuffs in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

In an area of 21,875m2 with about 300 participants who are businessmen from 36 nations, the exhibition displayed various kinds of goods from agricultural products, cattle, poultry, milk, veterinary drugs, fertilizers to types of equipment, materials and machinery for agriculture and processing and preservation technology.

In the framework of Agriteq 2018, the Food Security Conference was first organized by Qatar. This is a chance not only for policy makers to exchange experiences in developing the national agricultural sector, but also for international businesses to meet and learn from each other, and to find cooperation and investment opportunities to export and import agricultural commodities.

In recent years, some Vietnamese businesses have penetrated the Qatari market but it is at a modest number, which is not commensurate with the potential and strength of each country. The context of Qatar making efforts to develop the domestic agriculture and diversify its imports to deal with the diplomatic crisis is be a good opportunity for businesses to penetrate the market. Ha Anh Agriculture and Fisheries Co., Ltd is the sole representative for Vietnamese businesses to participate in the exhibition.

Ha Anh Agriculture and Fisheries Co., Ltd is one of the leading companies supplying clean agricultural products from dragon fruit, rice, tea, tomato, peanut, pepper to dried fruit products such as banana, potato and jack-fruit and a leading organic fertilizer production factory in Vietnam.

On the first day of AgriteQ 2018, Vietnam’s booth welcomed many visitors and expressed their interest and desire to cooperate to take Vietnam’s agricultural products to the Qatari market, especially dried fruits.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Nguyen Quang Han, owner of the business, said that Qatar is a small market, so it is very difficult for Vietnamese enterprises to spend a big amount of money just to introduce the products. However, he said that it is an honor for Ha Anh business to represent Vietnamese enterprises and he also sees potential and opportunities for cooperation and penetration into the Qatari market./.
