RIYADH: The Diriyah Gate Development Authority, in collaboration with Diriyah municipality, participated in organizing the second Date Farmers Market, which started this month.
The seasonal event aims to provide a platform for local farmers to sell directly to consumers and retail buyers.
It allows farmers to do business conveniently in a safe and secure environment, ultimately contributing to the growth and development of the market in a dedicated area near the Al-Faisaliyah district’s Moudhi Al-Othman Mosque.
The Diriyah Date Farmers Market is one way the DGDA plays an active role in supporting the community, assisting farmers and local businesses, and promoting Diriyah’s dates and date-based products.
Through its community engagement department, the DGDA’s collaboration in organizing this event is one of the many corporate social responsibility efforts it engages in throughout the year to serve the local community.
This initiative ultimately aims to support local agricultural activities, enhance food security, boost farmers’ revenue, and create jobs within the local community. It reflects the DGDA’s support for the agricultural sector, in line with its broader community engagement strategy.
Working alongside other entities within the city, the DGDA aims to maximize the use of Diriyah’s resources, capture the full benefit of the economy-boosting Diriyah project, and help Diriyah transform into a leading cultural and tourist destination.
