ABSTRACT
In its Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia adopted a strategy to reduce dependence on oil and diversify the economy. Given the importance of the agricultural sector in accelerating economic growth, Saudi Arabia has focused on the agricultural sector among other targeted sectors. The study pointed to amount the degree of the relationship between some agricultural products (dates, cucumbers, chicken meat and tomatoes) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the AGDP during the period from 1990 to 2020. Johansson test for common Integration aimed to test the long-term equilibrium relationship between agricultural products and the AGDP. Additionally, it employed the Granger causality test to achieve the specified objectives of testing the presence and direction of a causal relationship between agricultural products and AGDP. The results demonstrated the presence of a long-term equilibrium integrative relationship between the study variables, as well as a causal relationship between the study variables. The results of the regression analysis also indicated a lack of a significant relationship between the agricultural GDP and cucumber, despite the large quantities cultivated, this could be attributed to the increase in production costs. Therefore, the study recommends conducting a scientific study to measure the competitiveness of cucumber production.
