Disembarkation and Storage Gap
The article discusses efforts to improve and develop the seafood market in Saudi Arabia, focusing on enhancing infrastructure, maintaining existing markets, improving landing and storage sites, organizing fishing operations, and protecting marine resources. It also emphasizes the development of aquaculture. The need to establish a central market in Al-Ahsa is highlighted, which would include both wholesale and retail auctions, facilities to improve product quality, and reduce prices by up to 20%, thereby creating hundreds of jobs to serve over a million people. The article also addresses current challenges faced by the market, such as weak infrastructure, high transportation and refrigeration costs, and the absence of centralized facilities. Additionally, it underscores the importance of protecting marine stocks and regulating fishing activities to ensure the sustainability of fish resources. Data shows that aquaculture production increased by 15.5% in 2024, reaching 161,600 tons, with calls for improved refrigeration services and logistical facilities to maintain product quality and ensure the sustainability of fish supply.
