  • Saudi Arabia, known for its vast deserts and abundant oil reserves, is now focusing on aquaculture as a crucial part of its economic diversification strategy. Recently, the nation's aquaculture sector has grown significantly, making Saudi Arabia a leading global seafood producer and exporter. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Saudi Arabia's aquaculture output reached 114,490 metric tons in 2022, a decrease from 119,845 metric tons in 2021. This growth is mainly due to strict biosecurity measures, the adoption of advanced technologies, and high standards in product safety and traceability. Additionally, the sector benefits from the pristine waters of the Red Sea, favorable environmental conditions, and a strategic geographic location that facilitates seafood logistics and transportation.
  • The Saudi government is also increasing its support for the aquaculture sector. Through its Vision 2030 initiative, the country aims to reduce its reliance on oil revenues and promote growth across various industries, with a focus on food security and sustainable resource management. As part of this initiative, aquaculture has become a central focus. The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture has set an ambitious target of producing 600,000 metric tons of fish and seafood annually by 2030, aligning with the broader Vision 2030 goals. Concurrently, rising demand is driving an increase in online fish sales, further expanding the market.
  • Furthermore, the industry is shifting towards sustainability, with practices like integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) gaining traction. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) involves farming different species together to enhance ecological balance, addressing environmental concerns while boosting productivity. This sustainable shift was evident during the study period. In 2023, NEOM, a flagship project of Saudi Arabia, launched Topian, a sustainable food company that emphasizes regenerative aquaculture. With strong production and demand for aquaculture products, supported by significant government backing, the market is poised for substantial growth in the coming years.
