The interactive craft corners accompanying the Farmers Market in Al-Uwayqilah Governorate drew visitors, led by the pottery painting and handmade candle making stations, among the market activities organized by the branch of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture in the Northern Borders Region, and it continues for four days at Al-Khalij Neighborhood Stadium.

The pottery painting corner allowed children and families to decorate and color pottery pieces, contributing to the development of creative skills and introducing one of the traditional crafts related to local cultural heritage.

Visitors at the handmade candle making corner learned about the manufacturing stages, from preparing raw materials and melting wax, through pouring, shaping, and decorating, to the final product, along with the skills necessary for practicing this craft and its role in supporting productive families, developing their products, and marketing them. The corners contributed to highlighting local talents, promoting a culture of manual work, and encouraging the purchase of national products, in line with the market's goals of supporting farmers and productive families and developing small enterprises.

The market includes corners for displaying dates, vegetables, fresh fruits, honey, and rural and food products, in addition to awareness and guidance programs on sustainable agricultural practices and the importance of supporting local production, contributing to enhancing agricultural development and food security.
