With the arrival of summer, watermelon farms across Qassim Region are draped in green, creating a vibrant agricultural landscape that reflects the region's unique agricultural advantages.
These qualities have made Qassim one of the Kingdom's leading regions for watermelon production and marketing, strengthening its agricultural standing and supplying local markets with one of the season's most sought-after fruits.
Watermelon is among the summer crops for which Qassim is well known. During the harvest season, farms witness continuous activity in harvesting, transportation, and marketing operations.
This activity stimulates the local economy and provides seasonal employment opportunities for farm owners and workers involved in various stages of agricultural production.
Watermelon farms in Qassim continue to support the agricultural sector by supplying fresh produce to seasonal markets and contributing to the Kingdom's agricultural development and food-security objectives.
During a field visit by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) to one of the region's watermelon farms, the fruits stretching across vast cultivated areas reflected the dedication of farmers who continue daily harvesting and preparation work.
Their efforts are supported by accumulated agricultural expertise and a favorable environment that has helped improve both the quality and quantity of production.
