Most of the food consumed in the country imported.
food production in the country depend on desalination, ie from the oil that Saudi Arabia consumes more than France.
oil production in Saudi Arabia started to decline gradually, while the population continues to grow. Along with population growth increasing domestic consumption oil, which reduces its exports and government revenues, respectively.
