Nearly 13,000 tons of agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, and crops, were produced in farms and greenhouses across Bahrain last year. According to the Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry, this represented a 36% increase from 2015.
During the same period, there was a 49% increase in the amount of vegetables produced, with it reaching 22.7 tons compared to 15.2 tons of vegetables in 2015. Fruit production saw an 86.6% increase, with 2.8 tons being produced in 2022 compared to 1.5 tons in 2015. The production of dates in the country increased from 13.1 tons in 2015 to 13.8 tons in 2022, a 5.3% increase.
This increase is estimated to be due to the growth of the number of greenhouses in Bahrain over the past seven years, with approximately 4,830 greenhouses in 2022, compared to 3,135 in 2015, a 54% increase.
