Al-Ahsa Governorate is renowned for producing diverse seasonal crops, foremost among which is the Al-Hasawi lime. Cultivated in the fertile soil and abundant water resources of the Al-Ahsa Oasis, this quality fruit supplies regional markets and enhances the economic value of local agricultural products.
Local farmer Mohammed Hussein’s success with the crop serves as a model for preserving agricultural heritage and developing processing industries. Supported by the Sustainable Agricultural Rural Development Program (Saudi Reef), he has successfully increased production efficiency and ensured the continuity of his farming activities.
Saudi Reef continues to support small farmers and diversify the Kingdom’s agricultural production base. By enhancing efficiency and food security, it ensures the sustainability of high-yielding, versatile local crops, such as the Al-Hasawi lime.
