Qatari Company Flies in Cows to Meet Country’s Dairy Needs
A Qatari company has airlifted 165 cows into the tiny Arab state to help ease a shortage of dairy products caused by a blockade from its neighbors. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain cut ties and severed transport links with Qatar last month after alleging it supported terrorists. The airborne bovine delivery is the first of hundreds expected over the coming months as the Baladna farm, based just outside Doha, looks to ramp up fresh milk production.
