Technological Integration through Precision Agriculture and IPM
Saudi Arabia has rapidly advanced its adoption of precision agriculture and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technologies to enhance pesticide efficiency, reduce environmental harm, and improve crop yields. In 2023, the government launched a USD 200 million Precision Farming Initiative, deploying AI-powered drones, satellite monitoring, and soil sensors across 15,000 hectares of pilot farms. These farms recorded an average 12% increase in yields and an 18% reduction in pesticide usage compared to traditional spraying methods. Enabled by Vision 2030’s focus on food security and digital transformation, these efforts align with global trends toward IoT, big-data analytics, and autonomous equipment in agriculture. Technologies driving this shift include drones and robotic sprayers with multispectral cameras for targeted treatments, adaptive controllers linked to soil-moisture and nutrient sensors, and machine-learning models that optimize pesticide timing based on weather and pest data. As cooperatives and private farms scale these pilots, precision farming is poised to become central to Saudi Arabia’s sustainable pesticide strategy.
Shift toward Sustainable, Eco-friendly Pesticide Solutions
Rising consumer awareness and stricter regulatory scrutiny around food safety are accelerating demand for bio-based and low-residue pesticide alternatives in Saudi Arabia. In response, government agencies and agribusinesses are increasingly promoting organic, microbial, and botanical pesticides that offer reduced environmental impact and improved health safety. Saudi producers are leveraging this trend through joint ventures and local manufacturing partnerships. The domestic pesticide residue testing market is also expanding, driven by the need to validate low-residue claims and ensure product quality. Key enablers of this sustainability shift include fast-tracked approvals and subsidies for certified biopesticides, R&D collaborations between institutions like King Abdullah University and global agrochemical firms, and the growth of greenhouse and vertical farming sectors catering to export markets with strict residue limits.
