These initiatives aim to foster a culture of sustainability and encourage individuals and families to transition from consumption to production.”
She added that the Ministry continues to organize training courses and workshops in collaboration with relevant authorities to develop the skills of project owners. By helping them present their products in line with local market demands, these efforts reinforce their active participation and highlight their valuable contributions to the nation’s progress.
Owners of Home-Grown projects expressed their appreciation for the Ministry's support, emphasizing that Qatari society increasingly values national products. They attributed the success of their projects to the Ministry's strong support, including the promotion and showcasing of their work at various events.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to supporting Home-Grown projects in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030, which aspires to achieve social development, self-sufficiency, and improved quality of life while ensuring a dignified standard of living for all citizens.
