Saudi Arabia has revealed new plans for its first dedicated Coffee City in the Baha region, marking a major step toward developing the Kingdom’s coffee sector and boosting agricultural investment. Spanning approximately 170 hectares, the large-scale project is designed to expand coffee cultivation, strengthen local production capabilities, and create a sustainable ecosystem that supports farmers, entrepreneurs, and related industries.
The development is already making significant progress, with more than 527,000 coffee seedlings planted across the site. Once fully operational, Coffee City is expected to produce around 2,000 tonnes of coffee annually, helping increase domestic output and reduce reliance on imports. The project also aims to improve processing, distribution, and marketing infrastructure, contributing to the growth of Saudi Arabia’s coffee value chain.
Officials say the initiative aligns with the Kingdom’s broader efforts to diversify its economy under Vision 2030 while promoting sustainable agricultural practices. In addition to increasing production, the project is expected to generate a wide range of direct and indirect job opportunities across farming, logistics, manufacturing, tourism, and retail sectors.
The Baha region has already established itself as an important center for coffee cultivation, with hundreds of farms producing high-quality beans. With the launch of Coffee City, the region is expected to strengthen its position as a leading hub for premium Saudi coffee, attracting investment, encouraging innovation, and supporting the long-term growth of one of the Kingdom’s most promising agricultural industries.
