The Saudi Arabian Agricultural Bank agreed to allocate 2.2 million Saudi Riyals ($586,000) to a multi-purpose cooperative organization in the northern Saudi area of Tabouk to build an olive compressing plant, reported Al-Hayat . Many Saudi olive farmers used to ship their crops to compressing plants in other regions due to the lack of compressing factories in Tabouk. — (menareport.com)
