Dubai Municipality Opens Registration for the Fourth Season of the Farmers' Market

Dubai Municipality has officially opened registration for the fourth season of the Farmers' Market, set to run from 7th December 2024 to 22nd February 2025 at the Quranic Park.

This annual market has become a key community event in Dubai, providing a platform for Emirati farmers to showcase and sell organic products directly to consumers, including fresh agricultural produce, dairy items, and home-grown projects.

The Farmers' Market forms part of Dubai Municipality's mission to promote sustainability and enhance the quality of life across the emirate, with a special focus on supporting local agriculture. Through initiatives like this, the Municipality supports local farmers and pioneering agricultural projects.

Ahmed Al Zarooni, Director of Public Parks and Recreational Facilities at Dubai Municipality, stated,

"The Farmers' Market is one of the most important annual events organised in Dubai's parks. It holds a unique character as it combines social and investment aspects, bringing together community members of various backgrounds and age groups to explore local agricultural products and enjoy educational and recreational activities for all family members.

"Moreover, the market provides a space for farmers to showcase and sell their products directly to the public, contributing to the support of the local economy and agriculture sector by promoting agricultural practices and land utilisation, which helps strengthen food security in the country."

The third season of the Farmers' Market was a success, with 42 Emirati farmers participating and reaching over 37,000 visitors over the market period, held every Saturday for 13 weeks.
