Harvesting Tomorrow: Tanmiah’s Strategic Leap in Saudi Arabia’s Agri-Food Renaissance

RIYADH — Under the patronage and attendance of His Excellency Eng. Abdulrahman Abdulmohsen AlFadley, Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture, Tanmiah Food Company , one of the Kingdom's leading vertically integrated poultry and food producers, today announced the launch of two new facilities in the central region of Saudi Arabia: a state-of-the-art poultry processing plant in Al Majmaa (Majmaa 2) and a cutting-edge feed mill in Dahna. These additions complement Tanmiah's existing network of hatcheries, feed mills, and processing plants, reinforcing Tanmiah's commitment to advancing food security, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting local communities with job creation and sustainable development initiatives.

The official inauguration ceremony was held at the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) in Riyadh, in the presence of His Excellency Eng. Abdulrahman Abdulmohsen AlFadley, Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture, along with esteemed dignitaries and distinguished guests, and was attended by His Excellency Amr Al-Dabbagh, Chairman of Tanmiah, Mr. Zulfiqar Hamadani, Group CEO, and a number of Tanmiah's Board Members and senior executives.

Strategic Investment and National Impact

Moreover, in pursuit of its vision to become the number one global halal sustainable healthy protein company by 2030, over the past two years, Tanmiah has invested over SAR 1.5 billion within the Kingdom, while also facilitating more than SAR 400 million in foreign direct investment into the agri-food sector, with the aim of increasing the pace of private investments in this sector through 2030. These efforts have strengthened Saudi Arabia's role as a regional powerhouse in food production and a vibrant hub for innovation, research, and product development across the industry.

Consequently, the new facilities represent a strategic investment in Saudi Arabia's agri-food sector, enabling Tanmiah to optimize production and deliver higher-quality products at scale. With Saudi Arabia's poultry projected to grow from USD 5.13 billion in 2025 to nearly USD 6.91 billion by 2030, Tanmiah's capacity expansion is set to play a vital role in meeting rising demand and enabling Vision 2030's food security objectives.

Innovation, Sustainability, and Community Benefits

For instance, Majmaa 2 is one of Tanmiah's most advanced sites. Built to international standards, it integrates the latest technology to optimize manufacturing and features advanced processing lines capable of handling large birds – a first of its kind in the Kingdom. It is equipped with a biological wastewater treatment system with a capacity of more than 6,000 cubic meters per day, recycling treated water for Tanmiah's tree plantations. Quality systems and plans are in place to power the site with renewable energy solutions, including solar panels. Majmaa 2 reinforces Tanmiah's competitive edge and strengthens partnerships with leading global QSR brands, including McDonald's Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, the facility features a dedicated product innovation section producing award-winning value-added items, while the Dahna Feed Mill enhances the integrated model by supplying premium feed with a 40 metric ton per hour capacity. Together, these projects will create skilled employment, advance sustainability metrics, and support local communities, thereby advancing national objectives and positioning Tanmiah as a benchmark for excellence in the Kingdom.

Youth-Led Architecture: A New Era for Oman at Expo 2025 Osaka

Spotlight on Oman's Architectural Renaissance

The Sultanate of Oman has garnered global attention in the field of architecture, especially regarding youth-led initiatives. His Highness Sayyid Bilarab bin Haitham Al Said, the Honorary President of the "Programme of Promising Omani Startups" (POPS), recently showcased this commitment during his visit to the Sultanate of Oman Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan. Assigned by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, HH Sayyid Bilarab emphasized the pavilion's design origins, crafted by a talented young Omani team that earned the prestigious Bilarab Bin Haitham Award for Architectural Design. This visit not only elevated the pavilion's status but also highlighted its role as a flagship example of how innovative concepts can transform into architectural masterpieces representing Oman on the global stage.

During the tour, HH Sayyid Bilarab engaged with curators and members of the award-winning team, delving into the pavilion's core thematic experiences, which elegantly encapsulate Earth, Water, and Humanity. He began his exploration at the Water Corridor, a unique feature that interconnects interior galleries with an outdoor plaza. This corridor pays homage to Oman's aflaj irrigation systems while offering shade, airflow, and reflective surfaces that create a thermal comfort zone. Further along, the Land and Water Hall presents an immersive film that vividly traces the biodiversity spanning from the Arabian Sea to the Hajar Mountains, thus reinforcing the thematic focus of the pavilion.

A Commitment to Youth and Sustainable Design

Sayyid Said bin Sultan Al Busaidy, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth for Culture and Commissioner-General of Oman's participation, articulated that the pavilion serves as a testament to Oman's renewed renaissance. This renaissance prioritizes openness, cultural exchange, and youth creativity. Moreover, the commissioning of the pavilion through the Bilarab Bin Haitham Award signals a national confidence in young architects, affirming their capability to deliver projects that meet international standards while narrating Oman’s rich story through contemporary design.

Furthermore, during his visit, HH Sayyid Bilarab marked a significant milestone by signing the Expo VIP guest book and exchanging commemorative gifts with Japanese counterparts. He also visited the Japan Pavilion, where he was warmly welcomed by Director Noriyuki Kuroda. The backdrop of the Omani National Day celebration at Expo, complete with the national anthems of both countries and a performance by the Royal Cavalry Band, added a festive atmosphere to this momentous occasion.

The Bilarab Bin Haitham Award for Architectural Design remains a national initiative that elevates young Omani architects and designers, enabling them to work on real projects that serve local communities while representing Oman internationally. The pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka stands as a striking demonstration of this model, embodying the nation’s commitment to nurturing youth-led creativity. With over one million visitors to date, the Sultanate of Oman Pavilion not only reflects strong international interest but also showcases the country's innovative spirit and dedication to sustainable design.
