Abstract
During the 1970s and 1980s, the
Saudi Arabian government has paid
more attention to the country's agricultural
sector than in the past, increasing
expenditure and loans to
farmers. Spectacular increases in output
have resulted. This Viewpoint
highlights some of the features which
characterize Saudi agricultural development,
particularly in relation to
private v public-sector expenditure.
The author concludes that the rapid
expansion cannot continue, and that
the opportunity for the country to
achieve a viable agricultural sector
has passed.
