Kuwait: ALARGAN International Real Estate Company launched Saturday a weekly Farmers’ Market at its ARGAN Al Bida’a development, bringing local farmers closer to consumers and giving them access to fresh and organic local produce in a setting that fosters social interactions and engages the community together.
Hosting certified local farmers, the Farmers’ Market is a true traditional market that promotes healthy living in the community by providing quality fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, and other produce such as honey, oils, and beans in addition to homemade jams, pickles and olives, at fair market prices.
ALARGAN International Real Estate Company CEO and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Khaled Al-Mashaan, said: “The Farmers’ Market is a commitment from ALARGAN to bridge the gap between our farmers and the people by supporting locally grown products, and the efforts of Kuwaiti farmers in developing an agriculture sector that positively serves the community and has a strong potential to contribute to the local economy.
“We are dedicated at ALARGAN to delivering developments that integrate our motto, ‘Life… As You Love It’.”
ALARGAN International strives to integrate its motto across its projects by creating “live, work, play and savor” environments that present a unique lifestyle experience. The motto for life-enhancing environments extends in its sustainability values for which it invests in green and energy-efficient developments to also enhance the quality of indoor and outdoor environments and the health of tenants.
ALARGAN is committed to contributing to a sustainable future, and is the only company in Kuwait to achieve the highest certification, Platinum, in the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) rankings, awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for its headquarters in the ARGAN Business Park. The Company is focused on the development of quality middle-income housing to serve a growing population and changing income scales while its developments are sustainable and support an economically and socially viable urban environment.
