Manama: Under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Bahrain Animal and Agriculture Production Show (Mara'ee 2025) will be held from December 9 to 13, 2025. The exhibition is one of the region's largest platforms dedicated to agricultural and livestock production and supports national food security efforts in line with the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to advance and sustain domestic agricultural production.
According to Bahrain News Agency, this year's edition features extensive local and international participation across agricultural and animal displays, an art exhibition, a heritage village, a farmers' market, a livestock market, a children's play area, and additional activities.
