RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture, Abdulrahman Al-Fadhli, has laid the foundation stone for a major agricultural produce processing and marketing facility in Riyadh. Developed by Leen Alkhair Trading Co., the project aims to establish an integrated system for processing, manufacturing, and marketing fruits and vegetables.
With an annual production capacity exceeding 500,000 tonnes, the facility is designed to maximize the utilization of local agricultural produce and enhance the efficiency of the food supply chain. Spanning a plot of 20,000 square meters, the project features a total operational area of 29,000 square meters across three floors, alongside a smart warehouse capable of holding 7,000 pallets. Currently 36 percent complete, the facility is on track for completion by September 30, 2027.
The facility will provide a diverse range of food products, including fresh, prepared, and processed items, serving both individual consumers and the food service sector. By expanding the use of local crops and directing a portion of the harvest toward food processing, the initiative will diversify agricultural utilization and increase the added value of local produce.
