Saudi Private Sector to Explore Agricultural Investment Opportunities in 10 Arab Countries

The Saudi private sector plans to explore investment opportunities in the agricultural sector in 10 Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, official data revealed on Saturday.

The Federation of Saudi Chambers (FSC) had presented a comprehensive and detailed list on the future projects in the specified countries, to benefit the companies and institutions operating in the Kingdom and give them the opportunity to expand their businesses abroad and achieve their goals.

According to the information obtained, the FSC received a letter from the Union of Arab Chambers (UAC) on the existing cooperation with the Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development (AAAID).

The AAAID was established in 1976 and contributes to the capital of 53 major agricultural companies across 12 Arab countries.

The information revealed that the agricultural investment opportunities are available in Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

The FSC called on the interested private sector companies to review the available opportunities.

Asharq Al-Awsat obtained a copy of the list, which indicated that the opportunities available in the Kingdom lie in contributing to the financing of projects through loans or equity to complete the implementation of the hatchery’s second phase.
