Saudi Arabia’s grape production has hit a new high, with over 110,500 tonnes harvested annually, according to the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture

The Kingdom has achieved a self-sufficiency rate of 58% in grape cultivation, a significant milestone in its agricultural sector.

Tabuk has emerged as the top grape-producing region, yielding an impressive 46,939 tonnes each year!

Other regions like Qassim, Hail, and Asir are also key players in the grape industry, contributing substantially to the overall production. Grapes are grown on more than 4,720 hectares across the country, and their profitability, ease of cultivation, and minimal water needs make them an attractive crop for Saudi farmers.

The Ministry’s recent campaign, part of the harvest season promotion, has focused on highlighting the benefits of local fruits, including grapes
