Festival Director Engineer Abdullah Al-Qudah said registration is available through the platform at the registration link, as well as through the Ministry of Agriculture’s social media accounts and those of its research, lending and cooperative arms.
He stressed that the platform is officially approved by the registration committees and that applications submitted outside the platform will not be accepted.
Al-Qudah highlighted the importance of launching the platform, saying it aims to organize the registration and participation process and clearly define the roles of participating entities. This will enable the organizing committee to arrange participants’ bookings in an organized and efficient manner.
He noted that the festival is one of the Kingdom’s largest and most prominent agricultural exhibitions.
The festival has achieved tangible results in recent years, with growth rates exceeding 120 percent, Al-Qudah said, adding that this year’s edition is expected to see unprecedented interest in registration and participation given the festival’s established position as a national platform for marketing agricultural and rural products and supporting producers.
Participation is open to charitable and cooperative associations, productive families, olive presses, production kitchens, handicraft and manufactured-product producers, and agricultural institutions.
Participation is subject to standards and requirements aimed at ensuring product quality and compliance with health specifications, including tests assessing olive oil type, quality and standards through the relevant regulatory authorities.
