It also complements the "Plant the Emirates" program, which focuses on agricultural leadership and sustainability.

This year's Farmers' Market will feature a range of activities and services for both farmers and visitors. Farmers will benefit from visually appealing sales outlets and various support services, including consultations, training, and agricultural guidance to enhance the productivity and sustainability of local farms.

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. Al Zarooni expressed optimism about the upcoming season, anticipating significant participation from residents, tourists, and visitors.

The Farmers' Market at Qur'anic Park is set to be a key event on Dubai’s winter calendar, combining commerce, entertainment, and education to create a memorable experience for all.
