Riyadh Shines as Saudi Arabia's Leading Date Producer, Showcasing Premium Varieties and Record Sales

Riyadh is currently hosting the third Seasonal Dates Exhibition, a major economic, social, and touristic event. Organized by the National Company for Agricultural Services, the exhibition is being held at Al-Rabwa Markets in the Al-Rabwa neighborhood, east of Riyadh, and will continue daily until the end of October.
Recent statistics confirm Riyadh's leading role in date production across the Kingdom, contributing significantly to Saudi Arabia's impressive self-sufficiency rate in dates, which stands at 124%. The Riyadh region alone accounts for 436,000 tons of the Kingdom's total annual production of over 1.6 million tons.
The exhibition features broad participation from farmers and agricultural associations, drawing a growing number of visitors eager to purchase and sample some of the finest date varieties in the region. With a wide array of premium dates on offer, both citizens and residents of Riyadh are taking advantage of this unique opportunity to explore and enjoy the rich diversity of local dates.
According to the National Company for Agricultural Services, seasonal date events like this one are vital to bolstering the national economy. They enhance the value of Saudi date exports, support local investment, and provide opportunities for companies to innovate and produce date-based products. The exhibition also serves as a key platform for farmers, enabling them to market their produce and reinvest their earnings to further develop their agricultural operations.
As the Kingdom continues to expand its agricultural exports and strengthen its position as a global leader in date production, events like the Riyadh exhibition play a crucial role in supporting sustainable growth and fostering economic opportunities within the agricultural sector.
