The
Saudi Government has maintained a policy of developing a strong
agricultural base. Accordingly, it has provided significant
subsidies for the growth of this sector. At present, more than
15% of the Saudi work force is employed in agriculture. Today,
Saudi Arabia is self-sufficient in wheat and is approaching
self-sufficiency in poultry, fruit, vegetables and dairy
products.
As
an important supplier of tractors, harvesters, irrigation
systems, well-drilling equipment, pumps, power packs, grain
silos, generator sets and other equipment for large-scale
farming, agriculture is a key market segment for Juffali. The
company also distributes a wide range of agricultural chemicals,
herbicides and insecticides to the farming community. To the
north of Riyadh, the main city for the agricultural region is
Qassim, where Juffali maintains full service and parts
facilities. |
