Saudi Arabia to impose fine on farms violating green fodder cultivation

09/06/2019 Argaam

 

The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture said on Sunday it would impose a fine of SAR 4,000 per hectare on farms that do not comply with the Kingdom's decision to halt cultivation of green fodder.

 

The ministry will launch aerial surveys next month to monitor violators, the ministry added in a tweet.

 

Violations include registered farms that are unlicensed to cultivate fodder, unregistered farms cultivating fodder and licensed farms that exceed the licensed cropping area, it noted.

 

Saudi Arabia’s ban on cultivating green fodder will come into effect on Nov. 3, 2018 to reduce water consumption, Argaam earlier reported.
