Which Region in Saudi Arabia Hosts the World's Largest Modern Olive Farm?

Al-Jouf Region is home to the world's largest modern olive farm, an achievement recognized by Guinness World Records on July 8, 2024. Spanning 7,713 hectares and encompassing more than five million olive trees in a single location, the farm underscores the region's prominence in olive cultivation and olive oil production.

 Across the broader Al-Jouf Region, over 23 million olive trees yield roughly 150,000 tons of fruit and nearly 18,000 tons of olive oil annually, accounting for approximately 67% of the Kingdom's total olive oil output. This agricultural output is supported by fertile soil, favorable climate conditions, and advanced cultivation methods.

 Local farms utilize modern irrigation systems, mechanical harvesting, and precision agricultural management to optimize water consumption and elevate product quality, backed by roughly 30 modern mills dedicated to extraction and bottling.

 The sustained growth of olive farming and processing technologies has cemented Al-Jouf's standing as the Kingdom's premier olive oil hub, bolstering downstream food industries and advancing national food security objectives.
