The Fruits Basket Competition Draws Large Number of Al Gharbia Farmers

The Fruits Basket Competition, organised as part of the activities of the Liwa Date Festival, attracted a large number of farmers from Al Gharbia (The Western Region), who came to participate and compete for the top prizes. The Competition includes different products: grapes, figs, pineapple, pomegranate, grapefruit, and others. The fruits are locally produced and originating from the garden or the farm owned by the participant.

The total value of the prizes for this competition reaches AED 100,000 (AED 50,000 for the top winner, AED 30,000 for the winner of the 2nd position, and AED 20,000 for the winner of the 3rd position).

The unique and pioneering competition aims at encouraging farmers to care for the local fruit production, and maintain this type of agriculture. The introduction of this new competition comes as part of the efforts made by the Organising Committee of the Festival to develop this leading event, strengthen performance, and improve the quality of the local fruit production.
