Farming
A comprehensive guide to farming in Saudi Arabia
Agriculture is a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's journey toward food security under Vision 2030. Despite the harsh climate and water scarcity, Saudi farmers have leveraged hydroponics and protected farming to produce fresh, high-quality crops year-round. Nabt connects farmers directly to businesses and distributors, cutting out intermediaries and increasing farmers' margins. This guide covers modern farming methods, key seasonal crops, and how to join the Nabt farmer network in the Kingdom.
Protected and Hydroponic Farming
Saudi Arabia is among the region's fastest-growing markets for protected agriculture. Greenhouses and hydroponic farms neutralize the heat and poor soil conditions to produce tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and leafy vegetables at high quality levels year-round. Nabt supports these farms by connecting them directly with wholesale buyers in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province.
Saudi Agricultural Seasons — When to Buy
Saudi agriculture has two main seasons: the winter season (October–March) for leafy greens, legumes, carrots, and potatoes, and the summer season (May–September) for watermelons, cantaloupes, and summer tomatoes. Understanding these cycles allows wholesale buyers to plan their supply chains and secure the best prices at peak production.
