Bahrain Fruits & Vegetables Market Size Summary

The Bahrain fruits and vegetables market is expected to grow at a steady pace in the coming years. Despite facing challenges such as high temperatures, limited arable land, and increasing groundwater salinity, the country's government is actively seeking to boost the agricultural sector through foreign investments. The most commonly grown crops in Bahrain include dates, figs, mangos, pomegranates, melons, papayas, and a variety of vegetables, with a significant increase in production noted in recent years. This growth is largely attributed to the adoption of improved agricultural techniques and infrastructure developments that link farmers with urban populations. Bahrain has been a net importer of several fruits and vegetables within the Middle Eastern region, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates being its major trading partners. The demand for fresh produce in the country is on the rise, leading to an increase in imports. However, Bahrain is a net exporter of certain vegetables, such as tomatoes. The country also has a free-trade agreement with the United States, which has boosted its trade with North and South American countries. Despite the increase in imports, there is a concerted effort to improve domestic production and satiate the rising local demand. This is evident in the case of tomatoes, where major players are investing heavily to meet domestic needs.
