Agriculture Technology

Vision

The vision for the Agricultural Technology Program is leadership in sustainable agricultural development.

Mission

The mission of the KSA Agricultural Technology Program is to transfer, localize and develop agricultural technologies, and to conserve and grow natural resources for the benefit of Saudi Arabia.

Program Strategic Goals

The following direct, program-level strategic goals of the Agricultural Technology Program are aligned with broader goals of economic development, self-reliance, security and sustainable growth set forth by the National Policy for Science and Technology. Furthermore, these strategic goals provide a basis for defining technology area selection criteria and program implementation objectives.

  1. Transfer, localization and development of competitive and environmentally safe agricultural technologies intended to promote the Kingdom’s sustainable growth and biosafety.
  2. Development of human knowledge of urgent agricultural issues and related technology.
  3. Development of a competitive R&D infrastructure for KSA agricultural technologies.
  4. Creation of a competitive environment for an agricultural technologies industry to compete in global markets.
