Saudi Arabia’s Poultry Sector Takes Flight: February Sees Record 100 Million Kg Production

Saudi Arabia’s poultry industry is clucking loudly after achieving a record-breaking production of 100 million kilograms in February 2024. This impressive feat is attributed to a collaborative effort between the government and the private sector.

The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) highlighted the crucial role of the Agricultural Development Fund, which provided vital support and funding for poultry projects.

Additionally, the ministry emphasized the importance of strict biosecurity measures, which ensure these projects adhere to the highest international standards.

Private sector companies emerged as major players in driving production growth. MEWA commended their dedication and awarded them the prestigious “Saudi GAP” quality mark, a testament to their commitment to excellence. This achievement aligns perfectly with Vision 2030’s goals of empowering the private sector and boosting its contribution to the nation’s economic development and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The poultry industry has been experiencing a steady upward trajectory in recent years. MEWA’s strategic agricultural plan deserves significant credit for this positive trend. The plan prioritizes the overall growth of the agricultural sector, with a particular focus on the poultry industry. This targeted approach is proving highly successful, making Saudi Arabia a force to be reckoned with in the global poultry market.
