''Tanmiah'' Embarks on One Million Tree Initiative

In line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 in achieving self-sufficiency and responsible sustainable production, ''Tanmiah'' Saudi Food Company, listed in Saudi Stocks Market, sought to be proactive in aligning its strategy with the goals of the Kingdom’s vision.

Accordingly, the One Million Tree Initiative was launched in Shaqra Governorate in March 2019 and nearly 200,000 trees have already been planted in the first phase, in line with the company’s goal to plant one million trees by 2025.

The impact will include the elimination of 1.2B KGs of Carbon dioxide (CO2); 10B liters of waste water and 1B KGs of solid waste recycled.

In the second phase, the company seeks tree plantation and enhancing the quality of life in the region. To achieve this goal, treated water from poultry waste and treated bio-organic manure will be used to plant and irrigate trees.

This comes as part of the company's objective to create an innovative and a sustainable circular approach to achieve zero-net emissions, which the Kingdom and other countries strive for.

President Donald Trump said the US was in a "transition period" and was going to do "fantastically" while downplaying the impact any short-term recession may have.

When asked during an interview with NBC News whether it would be OK to have a recession in the short term, Trump said: "Look, yeah, it's — everything's OK. What we are — I said, this is a transition period. I think we're going to do fantastically."

Trump's comment on the US economy being in a transition period echoed comments he made earlier on Friday in a social media post, in which he also cited strong employment and reiterated his call for the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, Reuters reported.

"We’re only in a transition stage, just getting started!" he said in a Truth Social post. The post followed the release of US data that showed job growth slowed marginally for April.

Trump, who just passed his 100th day in office, has faced growing public discontent over his handling of the economy, with many economists predicting a wide range of tariffs imposed in recent months will drive up inflation and slow growth.
