Perennial forage ban hits 60 days
The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture of the Kingdom has decided to suspend the cultivation of perennial fodder crops in the regions of Riyadh, the Eastern Province, Qassim, Al-Jouf, Hail, and Tabuk, starting from November 16, 2026, which is 60 days after the announcement. The decision aims to reduce water consumption, as perennial fodder crops consume approximately 32,000 cubic meters of water per hectare annually, compared to 9,000 cubic meters for seasonal fodder, thereby decreasing the exploitation of non-renewable water resources. Farmers are permitted to obtain licenses for cultivating seasonal fodder through electronic channels, with a mandatory shift towards less water-intensive farming practices to conserve resources.
