Saudi Arabia Frozen Potato Products Market Trends:

Expansion of Domestic Potato Production and Onshore Processing Infrastructure

Saudi Arabia has made remarkable progress in boosting domestic potato production and processing capacity, reducing reliance on imports, and capturing more value locally. In 2023, potato production surged by 47%, reaching 621,750 tons, up from 423,770 tons in 2021, increasing the self-sufficiency rate to 86%, compared to under 70% two years earlier. This growth was driven by expanded cultivation areas, rising from 15,890 ha in 2021 to over 17,000 ha in 2023, and the adoption of improved seed varieties and precision irrigation. To capitalize on this production boom, the kingdom is also investing in large-scale processing infrastructure. A notable example is the USD 100 million collaboration between the Agricultural Growth and Processing Company (AGPC) and Farm Frites International, which is building Saudi Arabia’s largest frozen French fries facility in Sudair Industrial City. Designed to process 70,000 tons annually, the plant is expected to lower import tariffs and shipping costs while enabling localized product customization. These initiatives align with Saudi Vision 2030, boosting food security and positioning the kingdom as a regional exporter of value-added frozen potato products.

QSR-Led Demand Surge and Rising Frozen-Potato Imports

The rapid expansion of quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and growing consumer preference for convenient dining options are key factors propelling the growth of Saudi Arabia’s frozen potato products market. Notable players include Herfy, with 360+ outlets and McDonald’s 350+, both of which prominently feature frozen fries on their menus. This QSR boom has directly contributed to the growth of the Saudi French fries segment, which was valued at USD 461.0 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1,090.5 million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.54% during 2025-2033. To keep pace with rising demand and broaden product variety, Saudi Arabia is ramping up its imports of frozen potato products, including fries, wedges, and hash browns. Consequently, the continued QSR proliferation, higher disposable incomes, and innovations in premium and health-conscious potato offerings are presenting lucrative opportunities for the market growth.
