Comment

Issued by: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

This medal was produced by FAO to honor The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz al Saud of Saudi Arabia, as an acknowledgement of his commitment towards agricultural development and his contribution to the elimination of hunger and poverty in developing countries.
King Fahd has successfully worked for more than three decades to foster the modernization and development of the agricultural sector in his country and has promoted and supported numerous endeavors for assisting other developing countries in improving the living conditions of rural people and fostering their own agricultural development.
