AL FRAIH gets Dutch award

The Ambassador of the Netherlands in Kuwait, Joseph Veling has presented the Holland Agricultural Export Award to Mohammad I. Al Fraih of Burgan Agri-Food Industries, Kuwait.

The Agricultural Export Award is given by the Netherlands Minister of Agriculture to businessmen who through their outstanding efforts, have made a long-torni, significant contribu- tion to the export and marketing of Dutch agricultural and horticultural products.

The long-term outstanding relations Mohammad Al Fraih has with Holland and Dutch companies fully justify his choice as recipient of the award. For over fifteen years he has done business with Dutch firms, importing and marketing a wide variety of products ranging from poultry-farms and green- houses to hatching eggs, one-day chicks and flower seeds.

He promoted the use of Dutch tech- neology and expertise to assist in the development of agriculture in Kuwait.

The first and to this day largest poultry farm, as well as the big glasshouse complexes were set-up by Dutch com- ponies which also provided new irrigate- Tion methods and their agricultural technology in general to the develop- ment of Kuwait.
