Sabic Agri-Nutrients Company (Sabic AN) has stressed the importance of innovation in addressing global concerns like the environment and food security and taking actions to reduce the agri-nutrients industry’s carbon intensity.

 

At the 14th edition of the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Agri-Nutrients Conference in Riyadh from September 10 to 12, which Sabic AN hosted, industry leaders engaged in discussions about the challenges facing sustainable agri-food systems. It, therefore, offered an opportunity for Sabic AN to present a first-hand account of the company’s agri-nutrient strategy as aligned with Saudi Vision 2023.

 

In his welcome address, Fahd Al-Battar, Sabic AN CEO, said: “Innovation addresses the need to adapt to changing environmental conditions while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Agri innovation offers a pathway to balance these critical priorities, ensuring a resilient and sustainable agricultural industry,” he said.
