Saudi Arabia Biofertilizer Market

Saudi Arabia Biofertilizer Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia biofertilizer market size reached USD 23.8 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 64.7 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.78% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the development of sustainable agriculture practices as part of Vision 2030 strategy, rising health consciousness among consumers, food safety concerns, and a shift towards chemical-free diets, and serious soil health deterioration.

Saudi Arabia Biofertilizer Market Trends:

Government Support for Sustainable Agriculture

The Saudi government is becoming more proactive in the development of sustainable agriculture practices as part of its overall Vision 2030 strategy. This overall strategy focuses on environmental sustainability, food security, and lower reliance on imported farm inputs. Under this program, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) launched policies and subsidies to encourage the use of green inputs, such as biofertilizers. Financial incentives, international agritech company research collaborations, and farmer education campaigns have all helped create a more conducive climate for the adoption of biofertilizers. Moreover, collaborations with universities and research and development (R&D) institutions are facilitating local development and commercialization of biofertilizers specific to arid climatic conditions. In 2024, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture sanctioned SAR 37 billion in private investments to improve agriculture and food sectors in the country. This policy-led momentum is proving to be instrumental in generating long-term demand by balancing economic incentives and ecological outcomes, positioning biofertilizers as a critical input towards sustainable agricultural growth in the Kingdom.

Rising Demand for Organic Produce

Demand for organic and residue-free produce is increasing in Saudi Arabia. Growing health consciousness among consumers, food safety concerns, and a shift towards chemical-free diets are driving this trend. Biofertilizers, as they are natural substitutes for chemical fertilizers, support organic cultivation. They contribute to soil health improvement, nutrient uptake enhancement, and minimizing the use of chemical interventions, hence ensuring the production of healthier crops. This increased awareness is also affecting retail chains, restaurants, and food processors to procure organically produced ingredients, thus creating downstream market pressure for farmers to transition to sustainable inputs such as biofertilizers. Additionally, labelling and certifications for organic vegetables are increasingly common in both home and export markets, further incentivizing farmers to use biofertilizers. Moreover, the demand is driven by a market-wide inclination towards transparency and sustainability in agricultural production. The Saudi Arabia organic food market size is expected to reach USD 5.1 Billion by 2033.

Depleting Soil Fertility and Environmental Concerns

The excessive use of chemical fertilizers in Saudi Arabia is bringing about serious soil health deterioration, such as low microbial activity, nutrient imbalance, and salinity. Such conditions are most serious in the arid and semi-arid areas of the Kingdom, where water shortages also exacerbate soil degradation. In response to such, agronomists, researchers, and policymakers increasingly seek biofertilizers that provide a viable sustainable alternative for reviving soil health. Biofertilizers supplement the inherent nutrient cycle by adding microorganisms that fix nitrogen from the air, solubilize phosphorus, and stimulate plant growth with biologically active substances. They also enhance soil structure, water-holding capacity, and fertility over time without contaminating groundwater or injuring biodiversity. The eco-friendly benefits of biofertilizers, coupled with the imperative to revitalize productivity in barren lands, are making them increasingly appealing throughout the value chain of agriculture.
