Al Qassim

Al Qassim along with tourism, agriculture is still the cornerstone of the region's economy. Although the region has been famous for its agricultural assets for a long time, it wasn't until recently that wheat production has been introduced to the local agricultural industry, making Saudi Arabia a net exporter of cereal. The region also produces dates, grapes, lemons, grapefruits, mandarin oranges,oranges, pomegranates, and a large group of vegetables. Below is one of many large farming operations found in the region, high tech green houses produce most of Riyadh's produce.
