More Than 30,000 Tons of Grapes a Year in Qassim
The festival highlights the agricultural standing of grapes in the region. Qassim's annual output reaches around 30,875 tons, produced by close to 60 farms, according to figures published by the Qassim Region Emirate.
These numbers give the festival an economic dimension beyond a seasonal event. It provides a platform to showcase the scale and quality of production and opens the way for farmers to present their products and reach consumers and agricultural enthusiasts directly.
The event also spotlights opportunities in grape-based processing industries, making fuller use of the crop and supporting value-added products that can open new marketing channels for producers.
Three Days of Farming, Entertainment and Shopping
Over its three days the Qassim Grape Festival offers visitors a varied experience combining local agricultural products, entertainment activities and family experiences, along with an introduction to the region's farms and local production.
The festival is also an opportunity to strengthen direct contact between farmers and consumers, introduce the grape varieties the region produces, and support the presence of local products and the industries linked to them.
The event is part of growing interest in agricultural festivals that combine economic and tourism dimensions, stimulate commercial activity, support producers and farmers, and highlight the agricultural strengths of the Qassim region.
