New Food market report from Business Monitor International: "Saudi Arabia Agribusiness Report Q1 2015"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/19/2014 -- Saudi Arabia will increasingly be dependent on global grain supply, as the country has decided to phase out domestic grain production in a bid to preserve the country's water supply. The government has not abandoned its strategy of self-sufficiency in poultry and has been ramping up incentives to expand capacity production. This strategy has paid off, as the three major producers in the sector have all started heavy investment initiatives . We believe Saudi Arabia will find sufficient grain supply from the Black Sea region and the EU to supply its meat and food processing industry in the coming years. However, the country will remain highly vulnerable to volatile grain and feed prices. Recent spikes in feed prices have turned us more cautious on margins for dairy and livestock producers in the country, especially those that import inputs from abroad.

Key Forecasts

- Wheat production growth to 2017/18: -49.2% to 355,700 tonnes. Wheat production will continue to decrease in the coming years on the back of the government's programme to phase out production.

- Barley consumption growth to 2018: 5.1% to 8.96mn tonnes. Barley consumption growth will slow down significantly, as the government tries to encourage the use of alternative feed sources for the booming livestock sector.

- Poultry production growth to 2017/18: 52.0% to 865,100 tonnes. This spectacular growth will mainly come from the effects of capacity expansion of three major poultry farms ( a l-Watania, a l-Fakieh and Almarai), along with continuous government support.
