Exhibitors from 40 countries to showcase latest industry solutions and trends at upcoming edition
Riyadh – July 07, 2014: Saudi Arabia has initiated a drive to encourage business to invest in farming operations abroad, which could see the Kingdom improve its food security as well as increase investment opportunities. In order to reduce water consumption while protecting local consumers against global food price volatility, the Saudi Government is incentivizing the private sector to invest in farmlands abroad, with the aim of importing products back into the country. The government is acting as a facilitator for the Saudi private sector, seeking land and agricultural investments, and providing funds, credit and logistics. Following this shift, Saudi Arabia is seeking to invest in 35 countries across the world, planting the seeds for fruitful partnerships and joint ventures with international agricultural companies.
Saudi Agriculture 2014, the 33rd International Agriculture, Water & Agro-Industry Trade Show, is set to gather international and local companies to facilitate business partnership deals under one platform covering major industry fields.
