I hope that you have found the report useful and essential for the expansion of Arklan. By compiling all of this information about Saudi Arabia I believe that we can make a clear and concise decision whether to do business with this country or not.

By analyzing the strategy provided Arklan can build and develop a strong relationship. Furthermore, depending on our success in the middle east we can then provide our agricultural goods to neighboring countries.
Saudi Arabia is a country of wonder, wealth, beauty and an opportunity to make Arklan the most successful Agricultural company in America and eventually then world.
