Shining a light on the flourishing agro-business industry in Bahrain and wider the Arab region, the Bahrain International Garden Show 2023 kicked off yesterday at Exhibition World Bahrain, in Sakhir.
Created in response to the increasing demand from local and international gardening and agriculture companies, BIGS, organisers said, offers a platform for international exporters and investors.
This year, the show focuses on the theme "Water: Regenerating Life," emphasising the need for strong water management policies and sustainable management practices. His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Isa bin Salman Educational Charitable Trust, inaugurated the show under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
The expo will continue until Sunday at Exhibition World Bahrain. During the inauguration, Shaikh Isa stressed the importance of the show in promoting investment in the agricultural sector and introducing promising opportunities.
He also highlighted the interest of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and HRH Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, wife of HM King and Chair of the Advisory Board of the National Initiative for the Development of the Agricultural Sector, in developing the agricultural sector.
Shaikh Isa also highlighted Bahrain’s efforts to diversify its economy by promoting agriculture and honouring winners of the Bahrain Garden Club competition. He also recognised the contributions of both official and private institutions towards making agriculture a vital component of Bahrain's economic diversification efforts.
Two exhibition spaces have been allocated for the winners of the Best Bahraini Farmer in the King Hamad Prize for Agricultural Development, in addition to other spaces which have been allocated for twelve Bahraini farmers to display local produce.
