The National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) is proud to organize the tenth Bahrain International Garden Show (BIGS) taking place from February 26 - March 01, 2014 at the Bahrain International Convention & Exhibition Centre. This much-awaited annual garden show will be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, King ofBahrain and the support of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka Bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of the King of Bahrain, President of the National Initiative for Agricultural Development.

The past ten years have witnessed a shift in focus that put agricultural development at the forefront of the country's agenda. Farming has become the job of choice for a number of families who have invested in modern green houses that produce a variety of vegetables in quantities that can cover a portion of the demands of the local market.A number of start-up companies that specialize in farming, landscaping, green house technology and agricultural training have also been established over the past decade to meet the demand for agricultural services in the country. New gardens and parks have been built and old parks were renovated all over the country.

The year 2012 has seen the launch of the first Farmer's Market that provided an exclusive platform for Bahraini farmers to showcase their goods to the public. Work is currently ongoing to build a permanent Farmer's market that will become a destination for consumers who crave fresh local produce. The Bahrain  International Garden Show will continue to provide a platform for companies to expand their client base in a region that is currently  directing large investments into the agricultural sector in order to address the challenges of the future. The show will also focus this year on the latest trends in using technology in agriculture to increase productivity in an environmental and cost-efficient manner.

The Bahrain International Garden Shows attracts over 20,000 visitors every year and is considered a one stop shop for experts, and hobbyists alike. Take advantage of this opportunity to promote your business to a wide local and regional client base of different levels of expertise and interests. 

Welcome to the Bahrain International Garden Show 2014.
