It will also invest in feed milling facilities with the target of producing 137 thousand tonnes of feed per annum.

The initiatives will be primarily funded by the Agriculture Development Fund of Saudi Arabia. MHP is set to provide a wide spectrum of industry expertise across the value chain to capture the long-term opportunities and design the best-in-class facilities fully adapted to local market conditions.

Zulfiqar Hamadani, CEO of Tanmiah, said: "The new partnership with MHP is yet another important step, demonstrating our resolve to contribute towards KSA's poultry self-sufficiency whilst reinforcing our pioneering role in supporting the Kingdom's food security and self-sufficiency objectives. In addition, as Europe's largest poultry producer, MHP brings a wealth of industry expertise that will advance Tanmiah's production capabilities and efficiencies, whilst enhancing our sustainability agenda." 

Dr John Rich, MHP SE Executive Chairman, added: "This memorandum represents an important milestone in MHP's international strategy. I am confident that Tanmiah's excellent operational track record in combination with MHP's industry-leading poultry expertise can bring transformational results to the Kingdom on their way to achieving the food security goals of 2030 Vision. The steady deepening of the relationship between MHP and Saudi Arabia is an important part of our long-term commitment to the region, and we continue to seek opportunities to make the best use of our expertise to improve food security around the globe. The agreement also brings closer together the people of Saudi Arabia and Ukraine."

Tanmiah's ambitious growth plans
