Al Hajri added that the acquisition of the stake in the basmati rice firm would help Qatar in securing new sources and supplies of food, of which the emirate imports 90 percent. Bush Foods Managing Director and CEO, Virkaran Awasty, said that the Qatari investment would be used to expand the company and boost the processing capacity by between 25 percent and 50 percent.
