The agricultural sector is of great importance in the country, due to the diversity of its production and its pivotal role in achieving national food security. This makes it one of the most promising investment opportunities; as it contributes to improving the quality of the local product, developing rural communities, and enhancing agricultural exports. Our guest in this episode is Hussam Al-Huwaimel, Director of Sectors and Business Development at “Rural Saudi Arabia”. He shares with us the most important challenges facing the agricultural sectors, and the investment opportunities in them. The Sustainable Agricultural Rural Development Program focuses on supporting and developing farmers in eight different sectors, by providing them with the necessary equipment, holding workshops and guidance programs to train them on the best agricultural practices, and marketing their products. In this episode, we will discuss the eight agricultural sectors in more detail, starting with the rainfed crops sector such as wheat and barley, and the challenges it faces, and the available ways to solve them. Moving on to the honey sector and its problems, despite the quality of Saudi honey and its leading positions. Regarding the rose sector, how can we invest in it? And finally, about the coffee sector, in which self-sufficiency still poses a major challenge. And other sectors of the initiative. - • Download the “Radio 8” app. https://thmanyah.link/radio-swalif • «Dinar» financing solutions for companies, and investment opportunities that comply with Sharia controls. https://thmanyah.link/wsj • Integrated solutions for your convenience ..
