Get ready, Bahrain – the island is gearing up for its first-ever Almond Festival!
This exciting event, organized by the Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry, will take place on July 8th and 15th at the Budaiya Botanical Garden. The festival aims to highlight the agricultural and cultural value of the popular almond tree and nut and promote a larger industry on the island.
Fifteen farmers and three productive families will participate in the event, showcasing four varieties of almonds and sharing their cultivation methods. In addition to presenting the manufacturing industries of almonds, the festival will also provide information on almond varieties, cultivation methods, and harmful pests. There will be activities for children related to the almond tree as a local symbol of Bahrain’s heritage.
The Almond Festival is a platform to support Bahraini farmers in marketing their products and finding areas where innovation and economic opportunities are available. The Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources is committed to preserving the almond as one of Bahrain’s genetic resources.
