Saudi Arabia’s agricultural sector has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few decades. Once heavily reliant on food imports, the Kingdom has made significant strides toward achieving food security and agricultural sustainability through government support, innovation, and strategic investments.

Today, agriculture contributes approximately 2.3% to the Kingdom’s GDP and spans over 772,000 hectares, producing more than 10.8 million tons of fruits, vegetables, grains, and fodder annually. The sector employs around 450,000 people, making it a key component of rural development and economic diversification under Vision 2030.
