Saudi Arabia Animal Husbandry Market Trends:

Accelerated Growth in Livestock Production

Saudi Arabia's animal husbandry industry is undergoing a substantial transition, fueled by greater productivity and innovation. The joint efforts of the government and the business sector are key to this change, which aims to improve local food security and reduce reliance on imports. Key programs have aimed to modernize farming operations, use innovative technologies, and improve breeding and supply chain management. These improvements are helping to build a more resilient and sustainable cattle business, preparing it for long-term growth. Furthermore, the sector's growth is aided by enhanced infrastructure, which increases production capacity and ensures more efficient distribution. As a result, the industry is becoming more important to the nation's agricultural environment. With a continuous emphasis on sustainability and food security, the livestock industry is projected to play an important role in satisfying expanding demand for animal products while also supporting larger economic goals, positioning it as a vital area of growth in Saudi Arabia's changing agricultural policy. For example, Saudi Arabia's poultry industry recorded a milestone in March 2024, reporting a record-breaking production of 100 million kilograms achieved in February, owing to collaborative efforts between the government and the private sector.

Partnership Boosting Livestock Farming and Food Security

The animal husbandry industry in Saudi Arabia is changing, with a greater emphasis on improving food security and reaching self-sufficiency in meat production. Key advancements revolve around the rise of intensive livestock farming, which uses new technology to increase efficiency and sustainability. Partnerships between public and commercial organizations are playing an important role in modernizing farming processes, while large-scale investments are fostering the creation of cutting-edge farms. These measures aim to boost local production capacity, minimize reliance on imports, and assure the meat supply's long-term stability. The sector's expansion is consistent with the Kingdom's overall aims of strengthening its agricultural industry, increasing food security, and promoting sustainable development. As a result, the animal husbandry market is experiencing greater innovation and structural improvements to meet rising demand while advancing the country’s food production capabilities. For instance, in March 2024, the National Agricultural Development Co. (NADEC) and United Feed Co., a subsidiary of Al Muhaidib Group, established a joint venture in Saudi Arabia's animal husbandry sector, focusing on intensive livestock farming for red meat production. With NADEC holding a 51% stake, the initiative aims to enhance food security, achieve self-sufficiency in red meat, and develop high-tech farms to support sustainable development in the Kingdom's livestock sector.
