Dubai Municipality has opened registration for the fifth season of the Farmers’ Market, reaffirming its commitment to supporting Emirati farmers and advancing local agricultural sustainability.

The initiative, which gathers Emirati farmers and local producers on a single platform, allows participants to showcase their products directly to residents and visitors. It also provides comprehensive support to enhance farm productivity, expand local agricultural output, and strengthen sustainable farming practices - key pillars in Dubai’s long-term environmental and economic strategy.

The market will return to Quranic Park in Al Khawaneej from December 6, 2025, to February 8, 2026, operating every Saturday and Sunday. The previous season saw a 49 percent rise in visitor numbers, underscoring the market’s growing appeal as a community hub that connects consumers with local produce in an engaging, family-oriented setting.

This season, 41 Emirati farmers and 16 local producers and agricultural suppliers are set to participate, offering a diverse range of fresh and organic goods. The initiative aligns with Dubai Municipality’s broader mission to empower local farmers through training programs, advisory services, and logistical support - efforts that collectively reinforce food security and responsible consumption.

“The Farmers’ Market is more than a venue for trade; it is a civic experience that strengthens community ties, supports national production, and promotes sustainable lifestyles,” said Mohammed Ahli, Acting Director of the Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Department at Dubai Municipality.

The upcoming season will feature educational workshops, interactive sessions, and cultural activities designed to engage visitors of all ages. Registration for interested farmers and producers is now open on the Dubai Municipality website with submissions due by November 20, 2025.

The previous edition welcomed over 102,000 visitors, providing an essential platform for local farmers and producers to connect directly with consumers and highlight the importance of supporting homegrown agriculture.
