With construction growth in Saudi Arabia continuing unabated, particularly in relation to the ongoing creation of new infrastructure and public utilities, demand for garden and landscaping products is expected to rise. “The Saudi construction industry is estimated to be worth around SR1.06 trillion ($283.8 billion) with large infrastructure and public utility projects in the pipeline. We estimate that the garden and landscaping needs within this figure to be about 10 percent of the construction cost,” said Ahmed Pauwels, chief executive officer of Epoc Messe Frankfurt GmbH, organizer of Garden+Landscaping Middle East. Mehtap Kenar, senior show manager, Garden+Landscaping Middle East, said: “The exhibition will showcase some of the emerging trends in the region, including the increasing use of organic fertilisers and herbicides, methods to reduce water use and eco-friendly landscaping techniques.” Garden+Landscaping Middle East is the region's trade event for the garden, landscaping and outdoor living industries and will be held this year at the Dubai international Convention and Exhibition Centre on Oct. 31- Nov. 2. The event will bring together under one roof, leading manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, garden and landscaping professionals, developers and end users. It provides an opportunity to get a glimpse of the latest trends and developments in this sector the world over as well as specifically giving manufacturers and suppliers a unique insight into the particular needs and requirements of the Middle East region.
