Locally-produced honey showcased at farmers’ markets attracted a large number of customers last week. Vegetables and other fresh produce taken directly from local farms also saw good business.

The markets sold a total of 114kg honey at the weekend (December 1 and 3). Al Mazrouah Yard in Umm Salal sold the highest amount — 61kg honey, followed by Al Khor-Dakhira market with 33kg. The sale of honey at Al Wakrah market reached 20kg.
