Poultry as a Food Security Pillar
The article discusses Saudi Arabia's focus on strengthening the poultry sector as a key part of its food security strategy. This is demonstrated through the signing of 27 agreements valued at over 2.574 billion riyals during the Middle East Poultry Exhibition 2026, aimed at developing production and increasing reliance on local sources. This comes at a time when Saudi Arabia's poultry production, which exceeds 1.5 million tons annually, achieves a self-sufficiency rate of more than 76%. The investments are concentrated on enhancing the efficiency of the entire supply chain, from feed and animal health to distribution and storage. The initiative highlights the importance of the poultry sector as a major source of protein, where boosting its production capacity contributes to market stability, reduces dependency on imports, ensures sustainable supply, and provides consumers with safe, high-quality products.
