Saudi Arabia has given the agricultural sector significant importance over the past five years, particularly following the launch of Vision 2030, through which the Kingdom aims to leverage available opportunities and resources to achieve a strong and sustainable economy. As a result of these continuous efforts, we have witnessed an expansion of agricultural lands, increased crop production, and growth in livestock numbers and fish quantities, contributing to enhanced food security and meeting citizens’ needs for food products.
