The Kingdom’s commitment to self-sufficiency in poultry meat is evident in its ongoing efforts to expand the sector through strategic investments

Saudi Arabia achieved a significant milestone in poultry meat production during the first half of 2024. The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture announced that the Kingdom recorded a record-breaking 558 million kilograms of poultry meat production, representing a 9 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The ministry attributed this achievement to the implementation of robust biosecurity measures in poultry projects and the promotion of modern production technology. The Agricultural Development Fund’s generous financing of up to 70 per cent of the investment cost for companies adopting modern technologies has played a pivotal role in driving the growth of the poultry sector and increasing local production.

The Kingdom’s commitment to self-sufficiency in poultry meat is evident in its ongoing efforts to expand the sector through strategic investments. By increasing production capacity, the Kingdom aims to achieve national food security, enhance local content, and create new job opportunities.
