Over the past three seasons, the market has welcomed 143,569 visitors and supported 135 Emirati farmers, highlighting the growing success of the initiative.

In addition to its focus on agriculture and business development, the Farmers' Market will offer entertainment, awareness workshops, and family-friendly activities, making it a vibrant community event. Visitors can enjoy high-quality local produce, engage with the community, and participate in educational experiences, all while supporting sustainable farming practices.
