Qatif's Ramsi Tomatoes: Major Product on Saudi Tables
Located at the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, Qatif is generally known for its fertile soil, unique climate, and rich agricultural heritage, Arab News reported. The Ramsi tomato represents one of the most celebrated crops in the region. This distinctive type of tomato is the main product of Mohammad Al-Ghawy's Ramsi Tomato Farm. Spanning 45,000 sq. meters in Al-Awamiyah, the farm also produces other seasonal delights such as local watermelon and cantaloupe. The process of planting tomato is based on traditional farming methods which includes careful nurturing and attention to detail. Farmer Saeed Sulail 'In terms of the harvest, the growing season lasts for more than three months, from December to the beginning of April,' Saeed Sulail, a farmer from Qatif, told Arab News. Sulail also noted that by adding the duration of planting seeds and nurseries (the greenhouses), it reaches nearly eight months. 'These are the industrial fertilizers that trees and plants need to grow well, but they must be in specific ratios for each stage of the plant's life,' he added. Qatif's Ramsi Tomatoes For centuries, Ramsi tomatoes have been a major staple in Qatif because of the region's pivotal role as a major agricultural producer. Today, Qatif is still the main producer of Ramsi tomatoes, notably as it boasts several local farms dedicating their land to their cultivation.
