Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu President Eng. Khalid Al-Salem handed over to the Saudi Coffee Company the license to establish the first coffee-production factory in Jazan for basic and transformational industries.
The license followed Jazan's signing a package of investment agreements and capital contracts, SPA reported.
The factory, which will extend over an area of 30,000 square meters, is designed to produce and export the finest types of Saudi coffee, and boost local and global supply chains, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. It will thus contribute to the sustainability of the coffee sector.
The Saudi Coffee Company is owned by the Public Investment Fund; it focuses on supporting the local coffee production and promoting coffee globally.
The company also plays a major role in developing sustainable agriculture in Jazan region, a major home for fine Saudi coffee, and raising the Kingdom’s ability to export the finest Saudi coffee beans to international markets.

An Australian student missing for two weeks near the country's tallest mountain was found on Wednesday, after surviving by foraging for berries, drinking water from a creek and finding two muesli bars left behind by other hikers, police said.

Hadi Nazari, a 23-year-old university student from Melbourne, went missing from his group of friends on December 26 in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Nazari was found on Wednesday afternoon by a group of hikers who alerted the authorities, police in the state of New South Wales said.

“This is the fourteenth day we've been looking for him and for him to come out and be in such good spirits and in such great condition, it’s incredible," NSW Police Inspector Josh Broadfoot said.

The student was in "really good spirits" with no significant injuries, he added.

More than 300 people had searched for Nazari across rugged bushland, police said. The national park is home to the 2,228 meter (7,310 foot) Mount Kosciuszko.
