Widam Food Company Signs an MOU with the Qatar Livestock Association (Anaam)

 

Widam Food Company (Q.P.S.C.), the leading company in the meat and livestock sector and the principal operator of Al Wakrah Central Abattoir and the country's private abattoirs, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Qatar Livestock Association (Anaam) at the company's headquarters in Al Shumoukh Towers, Doha.

The MoU was signed on behalf of Widam Food Company by Mr. Ayed Menahi Al Qahtani, Chief Executive Officer, and on behalf of the Qatar Livestock Association (Anaam) by Mr. Mubarak Rashid Al Suhaiti, Chairman of the Association.

The MoU aims to market the livestock of local breeders in Qatar by offering their sheep through Widam's livestock locations at Al Wakrah Central Slaughterhouse, Umm Salal Central Market, Al Shahaniya Central slaughterhouse, and Abu Nakhla Livestock Sales Yard, in addition to making these products available year-round through the company's Mobile APP.

Under the agreement, the Association will coordinate and communicate with local livestock breeders to supply sheep that meet the required specifications and weight standards, focusing on products that are in high demand among consumers.

The MoU also includes cooperation to study requests for the purchase of productive female sheep breeds, enabling their supply and sale to local breeders in coordination with the Association. This initiative aims to contribute to improving the quality and productivity of Qatar's livestock herd.

It is worth noting that local livestock production plays a vital role in meeting the country's demand for red meat, particularly during national initiatives launched by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with the Ministry of Municipality. Over the past 16 years, these initiatives have significantly enhanced production efficiency and contributed to strengthening Qatar's food security.

The Qatar Livestock Association (Anaam) is dedicated to supporting Qatar's livestock sector and its breeders. Among its primary objectives are improving the efficiency of local livestock production and serving as a link between livestock breeders and the relevant government authorities
