Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has launched Murshiduk Al-Zira’i app to further support farmers across the Kingdom, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
This remarkable milestone represents a key part of the ministry’s “With You Always” campaign to modernize the agriculture sector and preserve its sustainability.
Through this smart agricultural guide, farmers can get swift technical assistance and expert guidance on several topics, from initial land preparation to final harvest operations.
With 441 accredited specialists across diverse agricultural disciplines, the app provides immediate consultation services for farmers and landholders.
Therefore, the app is set to decrease dependence on non-evidence-based farming practices while enabling data-driven decisions that foster productivity, minimize operational costs and prevent cultivation errors.
Interestingly, the app has won various awards such as the Digital Government Award (Best Arabic Application) and the UN Award for Sustainable Development, along with attaining the internationally recognized ISO quality certification.
Notably, app users can also get weather condition alerts sourced directly from the National Center of Meteorology, live-streamed guidance sessions as well as educational articles and informational resources.
The app is free to download on both iOS and Android, with the ministry encouraging all those working in the agriculture sector to use it.
This initiative aligns with the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030 of modernizing the agricultural sector, promoting economic diversification, and ensuring sustainable development.
