Gulf Times, 02 May 2021
Discussions “are ongoing” with different investors who are interested in establishing food processing plants inside Qatar’s Free Zones, according to HE the Minister of Municipality & Environment Abdulla bin Abdulaziz bin Turki al-Subaie.
The US-Qatar Business Council (USQBC), in its ‘Business Opportunity Report: Qatar’s Food Security’, stated that there are many organisations that are facilitating investments in Qatar, including Qatar Free Zones Authority and Hamad Port, among others.
“We have many alignments between strategies and plans of these entities,” said al-Subaie in the report. He also said the strategic stock facility at Hamad Port “is very autonomous and will become the main hub and gateway for trade between Qatar and the rest of the world.”
Al-Subaie said, “We also have programmes with the Free Zones to reduce all food wastage as well. We’re also aligning our strategy with the Hamad International Airport and their air cargo capacity.
