Mawashi (Qatar Company for Meat and Livestock Trading) is in the process of setting up a huge poultry farm in the country, which is expected to help meet a significant portion of the local market’s needs, it is learnt.
“The company has finalised a comprehensive study and submitted it to the competent entity to get a suitable piece of land and process the other requirements of such a huge project,” Ahmed Nasser Sraiya al-Kaabi, managing director and CEO of Mawashi, told Gulf Times in an interview.
He pointed out that the local production of chicken now covered only 12% of the market requirement and the rest was imported. Feasibility studies, he said, had suggested that a local farm could prove successful given the high demand. However, such a project entails various risks due to the fragile nature of poultry, which is vulnerable to diseases and contamination.
