Saudi Arabia Becomes Third Country to Produce Rare White Strawberries

White strawberries have been harvested for the first time in Saudi Arabia following the launch of local production in the Hail region, placing the Kingdom among only three countries globally known to cultivate the variety.

The development confirms that white strawberry cultivation in Hail has progressed beyond experimental stages into active production, with fruit now being harvested locally. Internationally, white strawberries are considered a rare category, with limited global supply and production previously associated with only a small number of countries, including the United States and Japan.

The establishment of a harvest in Hail expands the range of crops grown domestically and adds a niche fruit to Saudi agricultural production. Regional coverage has focused on the significance of achieving local cultivation of a variety that is uncommon in international markets, highlighting the move as a notable milestone for farming in the region.
