Mr Ahmed Nasser Sraiya Al Kaabi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ‘Widam’, said, “We’re very happy to see the launch of Widam perfectly timed with this announcement and we hope for this agreement to support domestic animal resources and to hold many returns for investors.”

“Based on our commitment to cattle breeders and in order to facilitate their work, and to continue supporting our shareholders, we have signed a coordination agreement with the Department of Supply allowing us to distribute subsidized feed,” he added.

Jamil Omran, Sales and Marketing Manager at Widam said, “Since we are available at the central market, we expect heavy demand, but we can confirm to all our clients and customers that all sales processes of subsidised feed will be simply and well-managed. WIDAM has provided special locations and private stores for these processes, and the company’s employees will be available every day from 5.00 am to 5.00 pm and on Fridays from 5.00 am to 10.30 am and from 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm in order to provide any assistance and support for all Qatari cattle breeders.
