Saudi Arabia’s poultry industry is soaring! February 2024 saw a record-breaking production of 100 million kilograms, a triumph achieved through a strong government-private sector partnership.
The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) applauded the Agricultural Development Fund’s vital role. This fund provided crucial support and financing for poultry projects, ensuring they met the highest international standards with strict biosecurity measures.
Private companies were also celebrated for their significant contribution to production growth. MEWA recognized their dedication by awarding them the prestigious “Saudi GAP” quality mark, symbolizing their commitment to excellence. This accomplishment aligns perfectly with Vision 2030‘s goals of empowering the private sector and boosting its role in the nation’s economic development and GDP.
The poultry industry’s success story is a recent one. MEWA’s strategic agricultural plan, prioritizing overall agricultural growth with a focus on poultry, has been instrumental in this positive trend. This targeted approach is turning Saudi Arabia into a major player in the global poultry market.
