More than 380 exhibitors representing 34 countries took part in the 38th edition of the forum from October 21 to 24 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Bulgaria joined for the second time with a national stand. This country was represented by producers of dairy and meat products, packaged rice, honey, frozen fruits and healthy bars. "The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forests has been doing everything it could to promote Bulgarian exports of agricultural goods to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," said Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yanko Ivanov during his visit to Riyadh. According to preliminary data, in the period January - June 2019, exports of agricultural goods to the Saudi market increased by 7% on an annual basis. The biggest contributor to this is the export of chocolate and sunflower. The Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture announced that a Bulgarian-Saudi company for development and investments in Sofia is to be registered. Its creation was agreed in a memorandum of cooperation signed in early October in the sphere of processing grain, oilseeds, fodder crops and proteins, that would contribute to the food security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
