Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture Witnesses Landmark Agricultural Technology Transfer Agreement
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – April 30, 2024 – The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) proudly announced today the signing of a significant cooperation agreement between the National Agricultural Services Company (NASCO) and a leading international entity. This pivotal accord is set to bolster agricultural capabilities within the Kingdom and drive the transfer and localization of advanced agricultural technologies.
The ceremony, held at the Ministry’s premises, was attended by key stakeholders and officials, underscoring the national importance of this initiative. The agreement signifies a strategic commitment to enhancing Saudi Arabia’s agricultural sector through innovation and the adoption of cutting-edge practices.
The core objective of this collaboration is to facilitate the seamless transfer of specialized agricultural technologies and expertise from the international partner to NASCO and, by extension, to the broader Saudi agricultural community. This initiative aims to equip local farmers and agricultural businesses with the tools and knowledge necessary to improve productivity, increase efficiency, and promote sustainable farming methods.
By fostering the localization of these advanced technologies, the agreement will contribute to strengthening the Kingdom’s food security, reducing reliance on imported agricultural produce, and creating new economic opportunities within the sector. The focus will be on areas such as precision agriculture, smart farming solutions, improved irrigation techniques, and the development of climate-resilient crops, all of which are crucial for the future of sustainable agriculture in Saudi Arabia.
A spokesperson for MEWA expressed strong optimism about the agreement’s potential impact, stating, “This partnership represents a crucial step forward in our mission to modernize and develop Saudi Arabia’s agricultural landscape. By embracing international best practices and investing in local capabilities, we are building a more resilient and productive agricultural future for the Kingdom.”
NASCO, as a key player in the nation’s agricultural services, will spearhead the implementation of this agreement, working closely with the Ministry and its international counterpart to ensure the effective integration and dissemination of the acquired technologies. The company’s commitment to excellence and innovation positions it as an ideal partner to drive this transformative agenda.
This landmark agreement underscores Saudi Arabia’s unwavering dedication to achieving its agricultural development goals as outlined in the Vision 2030 framework, fostering a vibrant and sustainable agricultural sector that benefits both the economy and the environment. The Ministry looks forward to the positive outcomes this collaboration will bring to the Kingdom’s agricultural productivity and technological advancement.
