Bahrain Agriculture Market Overview (2025–2029)
The agriculture market in Bahrain is projected to expand by USD 12.6 million, registering a CAGR of 1.27% from 2024 to 2029. This growth is underpinned by several factors, including robust government initiatives aimed at enhancing domestic agricultural production through subsidies and policy support. Additionally, there is a rising emphasis on horticulture and specialty seed cultivation to cater to evolving consumer preferences for nutritious and diverse food options.
Despite the optimistic outlook, the sector faces challenges such as shrinking arable land due to urbanization and climate change. Moreover, the adoption of technological innovations—including precision farming and automation—is essential for improving efficiency and sustainability. To remain competitive, stakeholders must adapt to these changing dynamics.
Market Size and Dynamics
Key Market Driver
Government-backed initiatives are a major driver of market growth. Bahrain is advancing food security through a new national production strategy. The National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) launched AGRO.BH, a digital platform that centralizes agricultural data, supports investment decisions, and facilitates R&D. It helps government bodies analyze trends, land use, climate data, and workforce statistics to make informed decisions and drive the sector forward.
Key Market Trend
