The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), during its 48th session held from November 10–14 at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome, adopted the first international standard for fresh dates. This achievement occurred during the Kingdom’s co-chairing of the working group for international standard development. This global adoption reflects the Kingdom’s leading position in the dates sector, as the world’s largest exporter of dates, and highlights its influential role in shaping international standards that contribute to raising food quality and safety globally. Furthermore, it highlights the active role of the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (@Saudi_fda_en ) in strengthening the international food standards system and enabling Saudi products to compete in global markets. The standard was developed in coordination between the SFDA and the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (@MEWA_KSA), building upon existing cooperation among national entities involved in the dates sector. This collaboration aims to strengthen the Kingdom's international presence and support the national economy by improving export efficiency and enhancing the global value of Saudi dates. The new international standard aims to raise the quality and safety of dates and facilitate their international trade by establishing unified and comprehensive standards that contribute to harmonizing food specifications among member states. This will enhance the reliability of date trading in global markets. The SFDA affirmed that this achievement reflects the Kingdom's leading technical and regulatory expertise in developing international standards and specifications. It noted that adopting this standard will contribute to supporting the competitiveness of Saudi dates and expanding their global reach, which will positively impact the growth of the national economy and the development of non-oil exports, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to solidify the Kingdom's position as a global hub for date production and trade. sfda.gov.sa/en/node/5006093 @gaft_sa @SaudiMade @SaudiExport #GLTRCORE #SaudiBusinessCouncil

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲" 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 🇸🇦🇪🇺 The year 2026 marks a historic milestone for the Saudi Made (@SaudiMade) program as the Kingdom's non-oil economy accelerates toward its Vision 2030 targets. Recent data from the General Authority for Statistics (@Stats_Saudi ) confirms a powerful 22.1% increase in non-oil exports, reaching a monthly value of SAR 32.57 billion in early 2026. A standout performer in this diversification strategy is the Saudi food sector. Driven by the National Industrial Strategy (@NIDLP_2030), the sector now exports over SAR 22 billion annually, supported by a robust network of approximately 1,900 local food factories. At the Saudi Business Council, we are operationalizing these achievements. By securing critical health approvals and streamlining end-to-end logistics for premium Al Qassim dates into the European Union, we are ensuring that the "Made in Saudi" brand gains the premium shelf space it deserves. We remain committed to being the disciplined bridge that connects Saudi industrial and agricultural success with international institutional partners and global markets.
