Rationale for choosing the project
Strong demand for red meat: Demand for red meat in Saudi Arabia is expected to increase due to continued population and economic growth, making this project a profitable investment.
Reliance on imports: Due to insufficient local production, the Kingdom imports large quantities of red meat, creating an opportunity to invest in local production to achieve self-sufficiency.
Government support: The Saudi government provides significant support to the agricultural sector, including financial support, tax and construction facilities, which facilitates the establishment and operation of livestock farming projects.
Environmental strategy: The project is designed using the latest technologies in environmental sustainability and resource management, achieving efficiency in the use of water, energy and feed.
Demand analysis
Population increase and demographic growth: Saudi Arabia is experiencing continued population growth, which is driving an increase in red meat consumption due to the increase in population and rising rates of personal consumption.
Dependence on imports: Despite efforts to increase local production, the local supply does not yet meet the large demand for red meat, making the market highly dependent on imports to fill this gap.
Changes in consumption patterns: There is a growing trend towards increased consumption of red meat due to improved income levels and economic development, which is boosting the demand for these products.
Consumption during rituals and holidays: Demand for red meat peaks during festivals and rituals, increasing annual demand and creating opportunities to increase production to meet these increased needs.
Government support: The Saudi government provides significant support to agricultural and livestock projects by providing tax concessions, financial support, land and resources to boost local production and achieve self-sufficiency.
Emerging markets: Saudi Arabia’s red meat market is an emerging market that is thriving thanks to economic growth and a steady increase in consumption, making it home to promising investment opportunities in the agriculture and livestock sector.
