The grape harvest season has begun in AlUla Governorate, Saudi Arabia, where grapes are among the most popular and valued fruits in both local households and domestic markets. Known for their high quality and variety, grapes are a key feature of AlUla's summer agriculture.
Alongside figs and pomegranates, grapes are one of the region's main summer crops. Collectively, these three fruits are cultivated on approximately 348.96 hectares, producing more than 3,140.66 tons annually.
Among them, grapes are the most abundant and economically significant crop. They support regional trade, create seasonal job opportunities for residents, and contribute to strengthening food security in the area.
The Royal Commission for AlUla continues to support the region's agricultural sector through development initiatives, advisory services, and the adoption of modern farming technologies. These efforts aim to improve the quality, sustainability, and productivity of local farming, in line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals for rural and agricultural development.
