RIYADH: The Saudi Grains Organization (SAGO) is to import 780,000 tons of feed barley on 13 ships between October and December this year.
The organization’s Gov. Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz Al-Faris said on Monday that the batch of imported barley would help to meet local demand and maintain strategic stocks.
SAGO is one of the leading national institutions with a prominent role in achieving economic development and fulfilling the needs of citizens by providing key food commodities in Saudi Arabia.
The organization was established by royal decree in February 1972. Its responsibilities include establishing and operating flour mills, monitoring flour production, and animal feed factories. SAGO also aims to market the products of the organization inside the Kingdom, as well as purchasing grains, maintaining appropriate reserve stock in case of emergency circumstances, and implementing the agricultural policy adopted by the government.
