SABIC sponsors Ajwah Dates Forum in Madinah

The event was held under the auspices of Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman.

SABIC sponsored the first Ajwah Dates Forum held in Madinah on Dec. 1 to 4 under the auspices of Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman. The event was held in collaboration with Namaa Al-Madinah and the Al-Madinah Dates Cooperative Association.
SABIC presented its variety of palm-related solutions at the forum, including products, programs, and farmer field schools for farmers and the industry in Saudi Arabia. It aimed to further its reputation as a global agri-nutrients producer with capabilities to offer high-quality solutions to customers. It has developed a range of innovative products with in-house competencies, such as NPK 16-8-16+15S, to provide advanced farming solutions.
Prince Faisal honored SABIC for its sponsorship with a plaque, received by Awwad Al-Ahmedi, director, economics and business performance, Agri-Nutrients.
In his speech, Al-Ahmedi said the company’s collaboration with the agriculture industry plays a key role in improving the abilities of local farmhands, specifically in dates cultivation.
He pointed out to SABIC’s field training programs, which, he said, are some of the most effective methods to share knowledge and experiences with local farmers. This is helping in the production of healthy and eco-friendly products, while promoting sustainable development, he added.
SABIC has been a key supporter of Saudi Arabia’s agriculture industry, particularly dates cultivation. It supports the “Palm Tree of the Homeland” initiative (Nakhlat Watan) to help farmers grow date palms through sustainable and innovative agriculture methods, boost Saudi Arabia’s ambition of becoming the world’s top dates exporter, and enable Saudi Vision 2030.
