Saudi Poultry Output Surpasses 1.4M Tons
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture in Saudi Arabia confirmed that poultry production and sectoral collaboration have contributed significantly to achieving self-sufficiency. Broiler chicken production exceeded 1.4 million tons in 2026, with more than 9 billion eggs produced. The self-sufficiency rate reached 80% for poultry meat and 100% for table eggs. These achievements are part of initiatives aimed at supporting industry localization, ensuring food security, and enhancing the competitiveness of local producers, in alignment with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. The initiatives include improving quality through "Saudi Gap," transferring import permits, enabling a coalition of 19 national companies to develop genetic assets, localizing the poultry vaccine industry with an investment of 250 million riyals, and investing over 200 million dollars to localize chick production. Moreover, the launch of the Excellence Award and support for investment partnerships in the sector are also part of these efforts.
