As we are a company with a lengthy background that has seen the evolution of the agriculture industry, our history is full of decisive moments. However, if we go outside the walls of our company, the origins of agriculture in Saudi Arabia started with the Bedouin or Bedu.
They are the nomadic groups of Arab people that managed to inhabit the desert regions in our country. Bedouin comes from the Arabic Badawi, and it stands for “desert dweller.”
Bedouin people used to live in tribes, and they shared a common culture of herding camels and taking the first steps towards agriculture. Today their numbers are way less as many of them abandoned their nomadic traditions for a modern urban lifestyle. Still, we do have to thank them for being the pioneers of modern Saudi Arabia.
