Saudi Arabia's agri-food sector investment target by 2030
Vision 2030 has placed food security and local food manufacturing at the heart of the Kingdom’s economic transformation — driving unprecedented demand for global technology, equipment and expertise.

MENA food import market
Saudi Arabia is the region's largest food importer — actively working to replace imports with domestic manufacturing capacity at scale.
The gap
Riyadh is the Kingdom's commercial capital, home to its largest concentration of food sector buyers, procurement heads and government decision-makers — yet it has no dedicated platform for food manufacturing and cold chain technology. FoodTech Saudi was built to fill that gap.

A $5.2B gap. And nobody filling it. Until now.
The $5.2B Market Nobody
Is Serving in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia’s cold chain sector is one of the fastest-growing in the GCC — yet there is no dedicated expo in the Kingdom’s capital addressing refrigeration, temperature-controlled logistics and cold chain monitoring technology. FoodTech Saudi fills that gap directly.
