AGQ Labs Saudi Arabia Strengthens Its Role in the Country’s Agri-Food, Environmental, and Mining Sectors
AGQ Labs Saudi Arabia Consolidates Its Institutional Presence
The AGQ Labs Saudi Arabia team, together with the Corporate Marketing Director, Pedro Torres, met on October 22 with the Spanish Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Javier Carbajosa, and the Economic Counselor, Leonardo Rodríguez.
The meeting served to strengthen institutional ties and share updates on the ongoing projects AGQ Labs is developing in the country, in the context of the expanding agri-food, environmental, and mining sectors.
Since entering the Saudi market, AGQ Labs Arabia has positioned itself as a strategic partner for companies seeking advanced analytical solutions and specialized technical consulting, aligned with the ambitious Vision 2030 plan that drives economic diversification and sustainability in the Kingdom.
Commitment to Agri-Food Excellence
The agri-food sector is one of the cornerstones of AGQ Labs Saudi Arabia’s activities. The company collaborates with leading producers of olives, dates, and vegetables, providing expertise in crop nutritional monitoring and comprehensive agricultural analysis.
According to Iyad Shana, CEO of AGQ Labs Arabia, “the agronomic services we are offering are highly distinctive, particularly our crop nutritional monitoring program, through which we are helping reduce fertilization costs while improving productivity and product quality.” This proprietary service is complemented by a wide range of soil, leaf, water, and fertilizer analyses, as well as quality and food safety controls such as pesticide residue and heavy metal detection in agricultural products.
The demand for agri-food testing in Saudi Arabia is growing rapidly, driven by the modernization of the agricultural sector and the need to control food imports and exports — areas in which AGQ Labs contributes technology, accuracy, and reliability.
Environmental Services and Water Control
The meeting also addressed AGQ Labs’ role in developing environmental projects aligned with Vision 2030 objectives. The company operates a laboratory in Dammam specializing in water analysis, supported by AGQ Labs’ international network of laboratories to provide comprehensive coverage in contaminant detection and environmental monitoring.
Among its clients is Aramco, the country’s leading oil company, with whom AGQ Labs collaborates on environmental monitoring and industrial sustainability projects focused on reducing pollution and promoting the efficient use of natural resources.
Growth in the Saudi Mining Sector
Saudi Arabia’s mining sector is also experiencing strong growth, driven by the exploration and exploitation of gold, copper, bauxite, phosphate, and critical minerals such as lithium, which are essential for the energy transition.
In this field, AGQ Labs provides mineralogical analysis services, geochemical studies, and environmental monitoring plans for mining companies. Ma’aden, the state-owned enterprise, plays a key role in leading economic diversification in the mining industry beyond oil.
AGQ Labs Saudi Arabia: Innovation and International Trust
With a solid scientific and technological foundation, AGQ Labs Saudi Arabia continues to expand its role as a benchmark in analytical and technical consulting services, contributing to the sustainable development of key sectors in the region. Its comprehensive approach—combining laboratory analysis, technical advice, and sustainable solutions—reaffirms AGQ Labs Group’s commitment to innovation, quality, and international collaboration.
