Saudi Arabia 08/09/2022

Saudi Arabia has improved its food self-sufficiency
Printable version 
In recent years, agriculture, food systems and supply chains have had to deal with numerous disruptions (pandemic, effects of climate change, war, inflation, etc.) which have made food security a priority for governments around the world.
 
Saudi Arabia has been preparing since the food crisis of 2007-08 to strengthen its food self-sufficiency by implementing various programs for agricultural development and investment, encouraging farmers to plant more and exploit the last innovative techniques.
 
The country has significantly improved its level of self-sufficiency. Thus, according to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, the total production of dates reached 1.5 million tons, representing a self-sufficiency rate of 125%, while the production of vegetables reached about 1.6 million tons, a self-sufficiency rate of 60%, potato production reached nearly 403,000 tons, a self-sufficiency rate of 92%.
 
Even the production of fruit and citrus fruits increased with 650,000 tonnes, i.e. a self-sufficiency rate of only 35% but a marked increase compared to 2016 when 266,000 tonnes of fruit and citrus were produced, i.e. a self-sufficiency rate of 15%.
 
Other agricultural sectors show high rates, such as egg production (116% self-sufficiency) or the production of fresh milk and its derivatives (109% self-sufficiency).
