Eastern Province launches shrimp season
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture in the Eastern Province announced the start of the shrimp fishing season in the Arabian Gulf waters from August until January 2027, aimed at enhancing food security and developing the national economy. The ministry has implemented comprehensive regulatory measures, including a complete digital transformation of services, to ensure the sustainability of marine resources and protect fish stocks. Initial indicators indicate an abundant supply, with crate prices ranging between 500 and 1,050 Riyals, and a natural variation in catch volumes throughout the season, which experiences peak production in the middle before declining towards the end. Future plans focus on developing the sector, boosting aquaculture and port services, in support of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and diversifying sources of income.
