The Saudi Papaya festival was held at Atyaf Mall, Yarmouk Riyadh on 28th November 2022. The event was inaugurated in the presence of Dr. Saleh Al-Dosari, Advisor to the Undersecretary for Agriculture. The event was set in the background of papaya. The walkway was lined along with papaya trees and the guests could witness the wide range of fruits & vegetables.
The event was aimed at promoting the local produce in association with the Saudi Co-operative societies. There was an agreement made to promote the local production of the Jazan region. The produce received was cleaned, ripened, and packed at the Jazan packhouse which is managed by Global star in agreement with the Co-operative society.
