Arabia: Saudi Arabia: Growers gear up for potato exports
The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture is exploring the prospect of permitting Saudi potato farmers to export part of their produce.
These exports will be done by local manufacturers, who purchase the produce from farmers after concluding contracts with them.
According to the terms and conditions for the export, producers shall specify the quantities that will be sold inside the Kingdom and the quantities for export. The manufacturers shall conclude purchase contracts with farms that use drip irrigation technology only and ensure that they produce specified quantities for the local market as well as for export.
It will not be permitted to dig new wells in the contracted sites for potato cultivation. The ministry will verify the cultivated areas, the type and quantity of the product, and its quantity by all available means.
