Agricultural License

What is an Agricultural License?

A mandatory MEWA permit for anyone conducting agricultural operations in Saudi Arabia. MB Solutions handles everything — documentation, approvals, and registration.

Who Needs an Agricultural License?

Any entity seeking to engage in agricultural activity within the Kingdom requires this license. This includes operations across the following sectors:

  • Crop Farming — cultivation of vegetables, fruits, grains, and other produce
  • Livestock Production — poultry farming, dairy operations, and cattle rearing
  • Aquaculture — fish farming, seafood production, and water-based agricultural systems
  • Agro-processing — food preservation, packaging, and processing of raw agricultural output
