Rationale for choosing the project
Growing demand for white meat: The local and regional market is witnessing a continuous rise in demand for white meat due to increasing population and changing dietary patterns.
Availability of infrastructure: The Kingdom provides a well-developed infrastructure that facilitates transportation and distribution, which enhances export opportunities to regional markets.
Government support: The Saudi government provides significant support for agricultural and manufacturing projects, including tax and financial facilities.
Export opportunities: Surplus production can be exported to regional markets that are also experiencing growth in demand for white meat.
Demand analysis
Population growth: Saudi Arabia is experiencing continued population growth, increasing the demand for white meat as part of the daily diet.
Dietary changes: There is a shift towards consuming more white meat due to health awareness and associated nutritional benefits, which is boosting the local demand for chicken and chicken products.
Developing regional markets: Countries in the region are witnessing an increase in demand for white meat due to population and economic growth, opening up significant export opportunities.
Changes in regional consumption patterns: Regional markets are increasingly demanding high-quality imported food products, with some neighboring countries relying heavily on imports to meet their food needs.
Government policies: The Saudi government provides significant support to the agricultural sector, including financial and tax facilities, which encourages the establishment of poultry farming and processing projects.
Self-sufficiency initiatives: The government seeks to reduce dependence on imports by supporting local projects that contribute to achieving self-sufficiency in food products.
Advanced infrastructure: The Kingdom has well-developed infrastructure to support agricultural and manufacturing activities, including transportation, storage and distribution facilities.
Modern technology: The use of advanced technology in poultry farming and processing can increase production efficiency and product quality, enhancing competitiveness in local and regional markets.
Job creation: The project can create 100 direct and 200 indirect jobs, contributing to reducing unemployment and promoting local economic development.
Development of rural areas: Choosing areas such as Riyadh, Al Jouf, Tabuk, and Hail promotes development in rural areas and utilizes available local resources.
Reducing dependence on imports: Despite efforts to increase local production, local supply does not meet the large demand for white meat, making the market highly dependent on imports to fill this gap. The project can reduce this dependence and achieve self-sufficiency.
Increased consumption of white meat: Demand for white meat peaks during the Eid and Rituals periods, which increases annual demand and creates opportunities to increase production to meet these needs.
