Organic farming was part of the agenda at the 33th international agriculture, water and agro-industry congress in Saudi Arabia. The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Germany and Saudi Arabia shared a hall.
At this hall, organic growers and other participants were given the opportunity to showcase their products and services. The director of the Saudi Agricultural Organisation, Ayman Al-Ghamdi, was also present.
He talked about the future of organic farming: "We are currently planning the next five years of organic agriculture. We are preparing a plan in which we summarise the main objectives of organic farming; the goal is to start implementing the plan in 2016 or 2017."
"Our role is to provide a platform for all those who are involved in the organic market, such as growers, marketers, import companies and others. That way we can show people how organic farming has been growing and improving in recent times."
