Saudi Arabia Localizes Rose Cultivation to Boost Agricultural Growth

Saudi Arabia has launched a promising initiative to localize rose cultivation, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The initiative aims to meet rising local demand, create job opportunities, and decrease reliance on costly, lower-quality imports.

Localizing rose cultivation will boost agricultural growth and support exports to Gulf and Middle Eastern markets, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture announced several incentives to support the development of the sector and provide financial returns to rose producers.

These incentives include the success of tissue culture rose cultivation, which will develop rose cultivation and lower production costs.

Moreover, the Ministry provides suitable agricultural lands, investment opportunities, and loans from the Agricultural Development Fund covering 70% of project costs. It also offers technical support and streamlined licensing for rose cultivation and production projects.
