How To Saudi Arabia Turning Desert Into Farmland. Saudi Arabia is known as a country that has many desert areas. This country is dominated by 95% desert. a place that logically is not considered perfect for farming. However, thanks to existing technology, all of these assumptions can be refuted. And this is how Saudi Arabia transforms the vast arid desert in its country into a fertile and green plantation area

To develop its agriculture, Saudi Arabia uses Center pivot irrigation technology. a method of crop irrigation in which the equipment rotates around the axis and the plants are watered with sprinklers. wheels that rotate around the center point are useful for controlling the speed of spraying water, fertilizers, and pesticides that are adjusted to the needs of the plants on the land, so that they can be more efficient. In this way various plants such as wheat, corn, potatoes, and vegetables, can grow well, even in dry desert areas such as in the Arab region.

Government support and incentives for farmers have made Saudi Arabian agriculture increasingly advanced and developed. As a result, it is currently not only able to meet domestic food needs. Saudi Arabia is also able to become a country that exports food to several other countries. It was recorded that in the last year, Saudi Arabia's wheat production reached 700,000 tons, 634,000 tons of watermelon, 482,000 tons of potatoes, 312,000 tons of tomatoes and 115,000 tons of cucumbers. Saudi Arabia also exported around 1.54 million tons of dates in 2021 and succeeded in placing it as the number one date producing country, beating Egypt.
