Market Overview
By: Alanood Salem

Saudi Arabia exports grains, dates, dairy products, eggs, fish, poultry, fruit, vegetables and
flowers to markets around the world. Dates, once a staple of the Saudi diet, is now primarily
produced for global humanitarian assistance. The Kingdom is expanding agricultural land by
introducing major irrigation schemes and embracing large-scale mechanization, which has
progressed in the growth of agriculture in the region, adding previously barren areas to the
stock of cultivable land. This sector contributes $14 billion to GDP per year (estimated at
3.4% of non-oil GDP). The Kingdom's agriculture industry accounts for 30% of its food intake.

Al Baydha Green Projects is one of the biggest agricultural programs in the Kingdom. In
addition to the fruit, oil, wood, sweetheart, beef, meats, medicine, herbs, mulch and shade for
people, the agricultural system of the Al Baydha project builds on the water system to create
food-forests to provide forage for the flocks of people.
The project will plant habitats, which can survive without human interference, where each
plant would be helpful to humans, rather than planting one or two crops. The Al-Baydha
Initiative is an immense pilot project for the Al-Baydha people and a huge opportunity for
the rest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is a chance to set a model for the sustainable

7
development of the world, better the lives of the poorest citizens, and green deserts in the
Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia. Undergoing the process of bringing this project to life, the use of
AI is promoted by the government of Saudi Arabia. For its promising Vision 2030, Saudi
Arabia currently invests in developing agricultural technology companies to promote new
technologies, increase production and reduce natural resource loss.

Unlike other areas of the world, agriculture in Saudi Arabia faces water shortages and very
extreme weather making it more complicated. With the development of technologies, sensors
and other wireless tools are integrated into numerous everyday tasks. Agriculture is one of
the sectors where sensor networks can be used to boost the efficiency and quantity of yield
by using a particular number of resources where water is the most crucial. Sensors are used
for a number of reasons, including crop parameters that are fixating on leaf wetness, plant
height, chlorophyll level, and the fruit size. Sensors are often used to determine the
consistency of the soil which has a direct effect on plant quality. In order to increase
production and organizational quality in the agricultural sector, the Ministry of the
Environment, Water and Agriculture uses drones supported by artificial intelligence
technology.
In view of geographical and climatic difficulties, the scarcity of sufficient and well-trained
agricultural labor and the fact that the human mind will not be able to balance excessive
amount of knowledge and data substantially circulating in the agriculture sector, the use of
drones will be a critical factor for investments in the agricultural sector. This is because these
new innovations are able to evolve and enhance productive efficacy, allowing for less cost-
effectiveness and economic feasibility. (Saudi Gazette report)
Food security is one of the main challenges on the GCC agricultural robots’ industry with
rapid population growth and economic development. In these countries, arid conditions serve
as a major obstacle to the growth of agricultural activities (GlobeNewsWire). Therefore, the
use of Robotics and AI for security purposes is also taken into consideration. Saudi Arabia has
made great efforts to keep pace with this advancement by implementing and making the best
use of artificial intelligence technology to facilitate food security.

Introduction
By. Afnan Aljurais

The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture aims at Digital transformation through
the exploitation of modern digital technologies, in addition to help farmers to use
technologies to increase production, so that scientific innovation is used to raise the level of
efficiency of agricultural production, and to reduce the waste arising from the traditional
processes of agriculture.
Among the most important goals, the Ministry are to develop a national platform for digital
agriculture, integrated applications for farmers, and smart irrigation. As for drone
technologies and artificial intelligence in agriculture, the use of drones, will be the most
important pillars for investment in the agricultural sector, in light of the inability of the
human mind to deal with the amount of data and information in the agricultural sector. The
concept of smart agriculture means relying on good agricultural methods and systems that
lead to increased productivity and quality without consuming natural resources, such as: the
hydroponic system, and the biological and organic farming system.
One of the most critical achievements lies in establishing the project to develop organic
agriculture using the technology of smart agriculture by the Ministry of Environment, Water

9
and Agriculture, establishing the Saudi Society for Organic Agriculture, and support to
farmers and those wishing to switch to organic agriculture, allocating 750 million riyals to the
project.

Challenges
One of the most important challenges facing the agricultural sector and thus its impact on
food security lies in climate change and scarcity of water resources, the continuous rise in the
prices of agricultural products and imported production inputs, in addition to the shortage of
trained and sufficient agricultural workers. However, the Ministry of Environment, Water and
Agriculture has worked to meet these challenges by providing the best technical solutions, in
managing and monitoring agricultural projects that contributed to increase production
efficiency and quality. In addition to attract many Arab and foreign institutions active in the
field of modern technologies, in order to find new and diverse sources of food based on the
employment of artificial intelligence.

Opportunities
In line with the goals of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030 vision, the Agricultural
Development Fund supports the sector by providing a program to support the use of modern
technology in agriculture, by raising the percentage of financing (from 50 to 70% of the
value of the loan) to enhance modern technologies, raise production efficiency, and
rationalize water use. The program is directed to clients who wish to introduce modern
technologies in the agricultural sector, which are floating cage projects, fish hatchery projects
in the aquaculture sector, vertical farming system, and the aquaponics system (jointly with
aquaculture projects).

AI & Robotics in Agriculture
By. Shaden Alhamoud

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics are getting integrated into different industries, serving
each industry in a way that makes the processes efficient and easier, as it also reduces needed
manpower and resources. Many techniques and technologies have been developed over the
years, and this report will showcase and help the readers to understand how and why these
technologies are used and how they can utilize it to their benefit.
The developments in AI-driven technologies and machine vision will drive a deep and far-
reaching transformation of the way agriculture is being carried out. Addressing challenges
facing the industry including, soil health, herbicide-resistance, and crop yield.

11
Agricultural Robots

The first generation of these robots were generally small, their purpose was to collect real in-
field feedback and help demonstrate technical feasibility, to improve hardware design, and to
build up a data collection cycle to enhance the machine vision technology.

The current generation are faster, larger, and more efficient. The first generation of products
may have covered 2-3 ha/day, which would have barely been sufficient for even small farms,
whereas the current ones are reporting 8-10 ha/day according to Khasha Ghaffarzadeh,
idtechex.com.
Firms are using robotics and automation to help farmers find more efficient ways to manage
their farms and use robots to do any basic repetitive work that can be automated. Some
robots are designed to help pick up the produce once it is time to harvest. These robots
manage a larger volume as it can pick the produce much quicker compared to a human.

See & Spray AI system cameras allow the AI to detect any issues with the crop. It can then
spray the weeds with herbicide or provide fertilizer to certain plants. It allows farmers to
manage their crops and end up collecting higher quantities. According to Khasha
Ghaffarzadeh, idtechex.com, ultra-precision technology can help manage herbicide-resistant
weeds which are spreading at rates exceeding 10%/year and in hotspot areas even faster.

Self-driving tractors

Self-driving cars are becoming more common. It is only natural that the concept would be
implemented in the agriculture sector. The self-driving tractors are capable of completing
more tasks, managing, and performing various activities without tiring and without any
human supervision. These tractors can avoid obstacles and autonomously identify their
working position while traveling at the ideal speed.

Predictive Analytics

Artificial intelligence uses machine learning algorithms in connection with satellites to predict
changes in soil conditions, weather patterns, evaluate farms for the presence of diseases and

12
pests infestation or soil quality and composition, analyze crop sustainability which help and
assist farmers in improving the farm management, planning, and making smarter decisions.
The smart implementation of AI into agriculture would help ensure the sustainability of the
industry in the future!

Agricultural Drones & Sensors

Drones are an emerging technology that can be utilized in many industries. Its uses vary from
security purposes to photography purposes. This report shows the use of drones in the
agriculture industry, highlighting the types of used drones and sensors and how to get and
use data from them. Firms worldwide utilize smart agriculture-dedicated algorithms and
intelligent drones to help analyze large amounts of data within a few seconds. According to
precisionhawk.com, drones can gather data on 500 to 1,000 acres in less than a day. This data
allows agricultural producers to see how their crops are performing.

One of the basic uses for drones is for distribution, which involves physically moving
resources across a farm, including spreading agricultural chemicals such as fertilizer,
fungicides, and pesticides. Using the drones with their advanced sensors can help in
Generating prescription maps, assess livestock health and weight gain, identify damaged
fencing, determine optimal foraging areas, detect early indicators of plant stressors, calculate
grove maturity, and optimize the zonal efficiency of fields.

Multispectral sensors are the pillars of drone-based agricultural analytics and

mapping. Sensors can capture data at exceptional space-based resolution as well as determine
reflectance in near-infrared which makes them an effective and versatile sensor. Collecting
multispectral data is considers a crucial step in performing more effective crop health analysis
which is necessary to farmers, researchers, and agronomists.

13
Agricultural Drones

Skippy Scout: Automated Crop Scouting System

Skippy Scout is an exceptionally reliable drone system that flies the drone using a phone,
collecting data at key points automatically. This system can create field reports on problems,
crop health, and progress in minutes.

DJI P4 Multispectral

A fully advanced field multispectral mapping drone system with 6 integrated sensors and a
stabilized camera mapping. RTK available for extremely high cm-level precision with 25+ min
flight time.

DJI Agras: Automated Crop Spraying Drone

Several drone technologies have made it possible to effectively, quickly, and precisely
distribute spray pesticides and fertilizers. Which eventually decreases the amount of time that
is required to spray a field properly. According to Zach Wendt, arrow.com, the Agras
T16 covers nearly 25 acres of farmland per hour, significantly outpacing the typical farmer on

14
foot, who can only cover around two acres in a day. As smart agriculture evolves, drones will
continue to create innovative solutions for streamlining the farming and livestock industry.
Transforming the way farmers carry out their daily operations.

Climate Smart Agriculture

By. Hatoun Alshafi

Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is defined as agricultural practices that sustainably increase
productivity and system resilience while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. CSA helps ensure
that climate change adaptation and mitigation are directly incorporated into agricultural
development planning and investment strategies.

How can the agricultural system become smart?

WINnERS (Weather Index based Risk Services) are working to develop state-of-the-art
weather and climate modelling technology to measure the risk exposure that retailers, buyers,
banks, and smallholder farmers will face in the future. This information is then integrated into
agricultural insurance contracts that share risk between the various actors of a particular
supply chain. Instead of having only farmers as the insurance policyholders, meaning
everyone – buyers, banks, and producers – all take on some of the risk inherent in farming.
Therefore.
Chemonics: Taking CSA Products to the Farmer; Chemonics is working with Feed the Future to
train a network of village agents in climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices, which the
agents in turn promote to farmers. Village agents provide extension, inputs, and other
products and services to farmers to help them increase the quantity and quality of their
yields. Example CSA products include certified drought-resistant and fast-maturing seed
varieties, micro-irrigation kits, and herbicide for conservation tillage.
Access Agriculture: A Video Library for Smart Farming; Access Agriculture hosts “AgTube”, a
library of videos filmed by farmers, for farmers in over 30 languages. Browse solutions for
climate change in the search box. This video gives examples of water harvesting, on-farm
trees, intercropping and soil conservation as ways for farmers to build resilience to changing
weather patterns.

15
The impact of the smart system on farming in developing countries

With the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in farming since
the last decade, America’s farming industry has been witnessing revolutionary phase from the
domestication of livestock and crops to the organized use of crop rotation using new farming
techniques. With the integration of sensing systems into farming equipment has led to the
generation of large amounts of data, which is analyzed with farm management software to
provide farmers with valuable insights used for promoting the yield growth.

The role of smart climate farming in combating climate change

A growing global population and changing diets are driving up the demand for food.
Production is struggling to keep up as crop yields level off in many parts of the world, ocean
health declines, and natural resources—including soils, water, and biodiversity—are stretched
dangerously thin. CSA helps ensure that climate change adaptation and mitigation are
directly incorporated into agricultural development planning and investment strategies. Our
perspective on CSA is sustainable agriculture, based upon integrated management of water,
land and ecosystems at landscape scale.

Success stories

In Latin America and the Caribbean, The Dry Corridor located in Central America’s ecoregion
of dry tropical forests that cover the lowlands of the Pacific coastal areas of El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The Dry Corridor has a distinct and prolonged dry
season, but at the same time the region experiences excessive rainfall and severe flooding due
to climate change every year. local producers used the slash-and-burn method to clear their
plots of land. In 2005 FAOxii supported a participatory process with grain producers to
transition from this traditional slash-and-burn method to an integrated climate smart
production system. In collaboration with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture
(CIAT), this four-year project managed trials on 15 plots.

Wheat Production
Projects and initiatives

By. Shoug Alderwish

Wheat is a staple food in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom's agricultural achievement was its rapid
transformation from an importing country to a wheat exporting country. In 1978, the country built its first
grain silos. By 1984, it had become self-sufficient in wheat. Wheat cultivation became a major expansion
with the beginning of the 1990s (since the beginning of the implementation of the medium-term plans),
which aimed to diversify sources of income and increase total income.
In gross domestic product, the Kingdom exported wheat to 30 countries after that, and wheat cultivation
witnessed a significant expansion. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has instituted several development policies
and programs, including free distribution of land to companies and farmers, soft agricultural loans, and
incentives on the price of receiving wheat by the General Grain Corporation.
During that period, the Kingdom achieved 200% self-sufficiency in wheat in 2018 to achieve food security
and provide food needs at all times and places. The Kingdom has set a national strategy for foreign
agricultural investment, and it has also re-allowed the cultivation of wheat according to the controls, which
is that the area of wheat cultivation does not exceed 50 hectares.
Likewise, the milling companies were privatized into 4 companies in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Khamis
Mushait. The Kingdom's production of wheat in 2018 was estimated at 500 thousand tons, and it is expected
to increase in the coming years.
In addition to growing large quantities of other grains such as millet, corn, and barley. These not only meet
the basic demands of the population, but they also constitute fodder and food for the livestock industry.,
Which is a huge export to the country.

Al Baydha Green project
By: Shoug Alderwish

Project overview
The King Faisal Charitable Foundation for the Development of Al-Baydha Village was launched to
implement sustainable development in the Al-Baydha region.
Renewable agriculture methodologies were used. Al-Baydha is 70 miles from Makkah Al-Mukarramah,
which is 9 villages and extends for more than 700 km the region's agony deteriorated due to the lack of
attention to the region's resources and overgrazing, the lands that were fertile turned into a barren desert,
and in 2012 drought-resistant trees were planted and by 2015 nearly 4,000 trees of several types were
planted and were sufficient to build an ecosystem to attract bees, reduce soil erosion and provide fodder
for animals.
Despite the presence of some financial obstacles and the constant drought, until the project benefited
from the rains in late 2018, and with the use of agricultural techniques, methods of water conservation
and agriculture, 100% of the rainwater was preserved and the area that was previously deserted grew and
many fruit trees grew in it. The Al-Baydha project has proven that it is possible to convert many desert
lands in the Kingdom into suitable lands for cultivation.
