The list of participants is not limited to the coffee associations in Jazan, Baha, and Aseer, pioneering universities such as King Saud University, along with many subsidiaries of the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture. 

The event brings together all the key stakeholders in the coffee industry to deliver an integrated session and a beneficial workshop to streamline all the local efforts and work on achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 in diversifying the economy. 


The objectives of this workshop come in line with Saudi Coffee Company's commitment to drive the coffee ecosystem of Saudi Arabia towards adopting more sustainable practices throughout all sectors of the production chain – ultimately elevating the industry’s overall quality standards. This will greatly accelerate Saudi Coffee Company’s aim of creating a local sustainable approach to coffee production following the latest international sustainable production standards.
