Empowering Local Industry: The 'Made in Bahrain' Mark

In an era where national identity and economic resilience are paramount, Bahrain's Ministry of Industry and Commerce has introduced the 'Made in Bahrain' Mark—a strategic initiative designed to bolster local manufacturing and elevate the Kingdom's presence in global markets.

What is the 'Made in Bahrain' Mark?

The 'Made in Bahrain' Mark is a national trademark awarded to factories licensed and registered by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, whose products contain at least 35% local content. This mark serves as a symbol of quality and authenticity, allowing manufacturers to display it on their product packaging and promotional materials, thereby distinguishing Bahraini products in both domestic and international markets.

Objectives of the Initiative

The primary goals of the 'Made in Bahrain' Mark include:

● Diversifying the economy by enhancing the contribution of non-oil sectors.

● Supporting national products through principles of fairness, sustainability, and competitiveness.

● Strengthening consumer confidence in local industrial capabilities.

● Reducing reliance on imports by substituting them with high-quality Bahraini products.

● Promoting Bahraini products in local, regional, and international markets.

Eligibility and Registration Process

To qualify for the 'Made in Bahrain' Mark, factories must:

●Hold an active industrial license and be registered with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

● Ensure that the local content of their products is 35% or higher.

The registration process involves accessing the eService portal, selecting the relevant factory, and submitting the necessary documentation.

Impact on Bahrain's Industrial Landscape

By incentivizing local production and ensuring quality standards, the 'Made in Bahrain' Mark plays a crucial role in enhancing the competitiveness of Bahraini products. It not only fosters economic growth but also instills a sense of pride among consumers and producers alike.
