Aptly named ‘the food basket of the Kingdom’, Al-Jouf is the Kingdom’s agricultural hub. From hosting the largest olive farm to being the highest producer of wheat in the Kingdom, Al-Jouf has a lot to offer. Al-Jouf’s oasis of Dumat-Al-Jandal has long been the center of agriculture and trade. The region represents the northern gate to the Kingdom as it connects to Jordan – facilitating trade and logistics through the Al-Haditha land port, “the third busiest land port in the Kingdom with USD 247 million (2019) worth of import-export flow”. The region’s climate has not only helped put the region at forefront of achieving the Kingdom’s goal of food self-sufficiency, it has enabled it to take the pilot seat for the Saudi Green Initiative by being the site of the Kingdom’s first two renewable energy projects. (The Sakaka Solar Photovoltaic Plant and Dumat Al Jandal Onshore Wind Farm are multi-million projects, which have a combined capacity of 700 Mega Watts). Host to a UNESCO Tentative World Heritage Site, the oasis of Dumat Al Jandal, the region is one of the oldest places inhabited by humans and is full of archeological sites.
