  • UAE, Saudi Arabia lead strong GCC consumer shift towards flexitarianism, healthy eating

    The GCC region, especially the UAE and Saudi Arabia, is seeing a strong consumer shift towards eating healthy, with an increasingly high share of non-vegetarians opting for more plant-based diets, industry experts said. This shift is poised to trigger a projected eight-fold surge in the size of the plant-based meat market to $500 million by 2030 from a mere $60 million in 2023, recent market research suggests. In contrast, the region’s meat market, estimated at $17 billion last year, is projected to reach only $26 billion during this period – a mere 53 percent rise.

    The National Committee of Poultry Producers at the Federation of Saudi Chambers has downplayed the impact of the temporary ban on importing poultry products from Brazil due to the outbreak of Newcastle disease on the Saudi market. The committee's chairman, Mohammed Al-Shaya, stated that the temporary ban from Brazil would not significantly affect the quantities available in the Saudi market or the prices. This is because the Kingdom relies on local production to meet its market needs for both fresh and frozen poultry.

  • Communication gaps hinder Saudi gigaprojects

    In hindsight, the lack of detail was due to the fact that their masterplans had either not been completed or approved, which meant that specific project elements could not be publicised. For example, the Red Sea project was first announced in mid-2017, but it was not until early 2019 that its masterplan was approved and more details could be revealed.
