Saudi Arabia’s poultry industry is witnessing significant expansion through two landmark partnerships aimed at strengthening the Kingdom’s position in the global Halal market.
Al Watania Poultry, one of the world’s largest poultry producers, has signed a strategic partnership with Halal Devco, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The agreement was announced at a special event in Jeddah and focuses on expanding Saudi poultry exports while integrating sustainable and innovative practices. This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, reinforcing the Kingdom’s role as a key global hub for Halal food.
Mohammed bin Hamad Al Shaya, Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Al Watania Poultry, highlighted the agreement’s role in strengthening the company’s market leadership, stating: “By prioritising innovation and market needs, we remain committed to delivering high-quality Halal products that support national food security goals.”
Similarly, Tanmiah Food Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Brazil’s Vibra Foods, a leading poultry producer and exporter. The partnership, formalised at the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture (MEWA), aims to boost production capacities and create a globally recognised halal brand. Vibra’s expertise in efficient poultry production, combined with Tanmiah’s market reach, is expected to enhance Saudi Arabia’s food security and supply chain efficiencies.
“This collaboration sets new standards for quality and global market reach,” said Zulfiqar Hamadani, Group CEO of Tanmiah Food Company. “it marks a pivotal step in elevating food security and innovation in the sector.”
Both partnerships underline Saudi Arabia’s commitment to expanding its agriculture and Halal food industries, strengthening its global footprint, and ensuring sustainable food security for the future.
