. The tour forms
part of ongoing initiatives to strengthen Qatar’s food security ecosystem and
champion local agricultural production, assessing the company’s operational
preparedness and contribution to national self-sufficiency goals.

His Excellency was
accompanied by Mazzraty’s executive leadership team, comprising Chairman Mr.
Hamad Al Mana; Vice Chairman Mr. Abdulaziz Al Mana; Chief Executive Officer Mr.
Abdulrahman Al Mana; and Chief
Business Development Mr. Saad Al Mana.

Commenting on the
significance of the ministerial visit, Mr. Hamad Al Mana said: “Guided by the
strategic vision of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, The Amir of
the State of Qatar, and the national imperative to achieve self-sufficiency, we
have rapidly scaled our investments across agriculture, livestock, and poultry
since establishing Mazzraty in 2017. In a remarkably short period, we have
driven substantial progress in the broiler chicken sector, reliably delivering
premium products which meet the highest international standards. Today,
Mazzraty is a market leader, actively enhancing Qatar’s food security and
helping to achieve greater self-sufficiency.”

Mr. Abdulaziz Al
Mana noted that Mazzraty’s broiler chicken project operates as a fully
integrated ecosystem utilising advanced farming technologies. Producing
approximately 45 tonnes of fresh chicken daily for direct market distribution,
the comprehensive site includes a hatchery, modern poultry houses, a
state-of-the-art automated processing facility, and a dedicated quality control
laboratory.

The company’s wider
operations feature a high-capacity feed production plant formulating diverse
animal nutrition products, including poultry, livestock, and equine feed. The
facility also houses a specialised fish feed line and an organic fertiliser unit,
supplying both internal operations and the wider market.

As part of the
itinerary, His Excellency toured the egg collection unit and free-range poultry
farm, part of a strategic joint initiative between Mazzraty and the Ministry of
Municipality. Designed to empower traditional farms, the programme collects and
markets locally produced eggs, simultaneously reducing food waste and
generating new income streams for small-scale farms. The initiative also
involves advancing local poultry-rearing practices by providing vital technical
supervision and mitigating biosecurity risks across the State through robust
vaccination and sanitisation protocols.

The Minister
subsequently visited the Mazzraty Dairy Project in Rawdat Rashid, where he
reviewed the production processes and toured the facility. During a detailed
presentation, Mr. Abdulaziz Al
Mana  highlighted the project’s
fully circular operational model, spanning fodder cultivation, livestock
rearing, and final dairy processing. The cutting-edge on-site factory boasts a
daily capacity exceeding 120 tonnes, applying advanced technologies to produce
a premium range of fresh cow’s milk, yoghurt, cheese, butter, ghee, labneh,
laban, and juices to the highest quality standards.

The facility
features modernised cattle barns equipped with advanced climate-control systems
and a fully automated milking parlour. Following the importation of a
high-yield dairy herd to enhance capacity, the company is now positioned to
supply up to 40% of Qatar’s dairy market demand. To guarantee supply chain
resilience, Mazzraty also maintains extensive storage facilities, ensuring a
permanent strategic reserve of raw ingredients and packaging materials.

Concluding the tour,
Mr. Abdulaziz Al Mana emphasised
Mazzraty’s firm commitment to sustainability, showcasing the site’s
solar-powered lighting infrastructure and advanced water recycling systems used
for agricultural irrigation.

Demonstrating this
commitment to sustainable, domestic sourcing, Mazzraty also operates one of
Qatar’s largest agricultural farms, producing over 70,000 tonnes of green
fodder annually, including alfalfa, clover, and sorghum, providing a highly
secure, domestic foundation for local livestock production.
