Saudi Arabia is advancing its agricultural sector with the development of a new Almond City in the Al-Mandaq region of Al-Baha. This initiative, led by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, aims to enhance local almond production and stimulate economic growth in the region.
The project, dedicated to almond and fruit tree cultivation, covered an area of 596,084.47 square meters.
Almond cultivation holds a special place in Saudi culture, symbolizing hospitality and generosity. The resurgence of almond farming in Al-Baha not only preserves this cultural heritage but also contributes to the local economy by creating jobs and promoting agricultural trade.
The Almond City project aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aiming to diversify the economy and promote sustainable agricultural practices. By investing in almond production, the Kingdom seeks to enhance food security and support rural development.
