Question

Which crops grow in Saudi Arabia and Why? Moon- What measures do you think Saudi Arabia should take to improve their agriculture? Sun- Find out any new modern technique used for agriculture in Saudi Arabia (Research)

Answer 1

A) Saudi Arabia's primary crops include but are not limited to the following:

• Wheat, sorghum, barley and millet (Cereals)
• Tomato, watermelon, eggplant, potato, cucumber and onions (Veggies)
• Date-palm, citrus and grapes (Fruits)
• Alfalfa

B) Saudi Arabia can improve its agriculture by increasing the amount of cultivable land available to them.

C) China has invented a way to do this.

Using a form of a paste, obtained from plants, they can make sandy soils more humus. This solution enables the soil to retain more water and air. China was able to transform 200 hectares of the desert into cultivable land in just 6 months using this technology. Were Saudi Arabia to adopt this technology, it would greatly expand its ability to produce more crops and agriproducts.
