Al-Jouf: Farmers of Al-Jouf Region began harvesting their olive production to market their olive oil supply in the local markets and compete in the annual Al-Jouf International Olive Festival in Sakaka, organized by the Al-Jouf Municipality. Al-Jouf is renowned for its agricultural projects, particularly its olive groves, where the fertile land and abundant water resources support thriving olive cultivation.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the production of olive oil has become an industry for families in Al-Jouf, who dedicate their efforts to cultivating and caring for the trees until the harvest season, followed by the pressing process. This industry not only involves the traditional methods of olive oil production but also extends to innovative offerings by women in the community. They prepare products like pickled olives with added flavors, such as cheeses or peppers, which are marketed at the region’s festivals.
