These solutions include establishing new residential cities for workers, addressing shortcomings in the agricultural sector, and activating the role of the Kuwaiti Farmers Union in supporting local production. During his recent visit to the farms in Wafra, Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef announced that one of the government's priorities is the establishment of integrated residential cities for workers. He said this will lead to the relocation of workers from the existing cities to new, dedicated cities, especially given the large number of workers residing in residential areas. He pointed out that the political leadership is closely following up this issue. He added the existing workers’ cities have reached their full capacity, indicating that specialized companies will soon start implementing new workers’ city projects to replace the current housing for workers in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh and Khaitan
He underscored the importance of supporting national products and promoting reliance on local production, citing the aviation sector as an example. He questioned the rationale behind importing when direct purchases from Kuwaiti farms are possible, stating that several ideas and initiatives are being developed, and further organization is needed to implement this approach. He then called for regular monthly meetings among farmers to agree on a clear operational mechanism, coordinate efforts, and address shared challenges, thereby, contributing to increased agricultural production and achieving sustainability in this vital sector.
