French falcon breeder: Riyadh falcon farms auction a global economic and social hub
Philippe Hertel says the International Falcon Breeders Auction in Riyadh has become a global destination for producers and falconers from around the world.
Philippe Hertel, a French falcon breeder, explains that the International Falcon Breeders Auction in Riyadh has evolved into a global economic and social hub. The event, now in its sixth year for Hertel, continues to grow in prominence each year, attracting producers and falconers from around the world. The auction's expansion and comprehensive organization have significantly bolstered its international reputation, drawing participants from numerous countries.
Hertel, who is a regular attendee, commends the National Center for Falcons for its support of farms and participants. The auction's success is evident in the substantial volume of sales, reflecting a robust market and the auction's credibility. While commercial gains are important, Hertel emphasizes the value of building personal, social, and professional connections.
He highlights the friendships he has formed with Saudi falconers, which he leaves with each year. The auction, hosted by the National Center for Falcons in Malham, north of Riyadh, spans 21 days and serves as a dedicated platform for falcon breeding farms, falconers, and buyers to showcase their birds, compete in live auctions, and exchange knowledge.
This event not only advances the falcon breeding sector and raises industry standards but also provides marketing and commercial opportunities for participating farms.
