Mansour Bin Hilal Al-Mushaiti, inaugurated Monday the Middle East Poultry Exhibition, running under the theme "Contribution to Enhancing Food Security", at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center with the participation of 150 companies from 30 countries.
Eng. Al-Mushaiti said the exhibition aims to support trade and scientific exchange between international suppliers and local investors; to benefit from the opportunities provided by the Saudi government, and to help shape the future of production in the poultry industry and its inputs locally, in the Arabian Gulf and regionally.
He underlined that the ministry had provided unlimited support to the poultry sector, and had put this in its strategic plan to expand investment operations; increase local production, meet the growing demand, achieve self-sufficiency, increase the volume of the economy in addition to attracting new investors, and create job opportunities for the citizens.
He added that the Ministry and the Agricultural Development Fund provide facilities in granting government lands to projects, to raise the self-sufficiency rate of poultry to more than 80% by 2025, in addition to providing funding and support; for the development of the poultry sector, and the expansion of local production, which currently stands at 70%.
The Undersecretary of Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture for Agricultural Affairs, Eng.
