The coordination meeting witnessed broad participation from the heads of the specialized committees of the Federation of Saudi Chambers, in addition to prominent government bodies including the Food and Drug Authority, Food Security, and Prevention.
Best agricultural practices
The participants discussed mechanisms for coordinating joint work between the public and private sectors, in an effort to implement best agricultural practices that ensure the stability of local markets and meet consumer needs.
The discussions focused on facilitating the flow of food products to and from the Kingdom, and coordinating the complex logistical operations for feed inputs.
Supply sustainability
The attendees discussed building an effective government communication network to ensure the sustainability of supplies and to address any challenges that may hinder the delivery of agricultural products to the end user.
The participants appreciated the unlimited government support that resulted in qualitative leaps in record time, as the contribution of the agricultural sector to the gross domestic product jumped to 114 billion riyals by the end of 2024.
Many agricultural crops and local products recorded historic self-sufficiency rates exceeding 100%, which strengthened the position of national food security.
