Saudi Arabia, 2025
Saudi Arabia has secured SAR 37 billion ($9.8 billion) in private investment for sustainable agriculture initiatives. The capital supports a range of projects including smart irrigation, regenerative farming and food innovation infrastructure.
The funding aligns with national goals to modernize agriculture, improve food security and reduce reliance on imports. It also reflects growing investor confidence in the Kingdom’s agri-food sector and the potential of technology-driven solutions to meet domestic and regional demand.
Investments were supported by an enabling policy environment, financial incentives and ongoing collaboration between public and private stakeholders.
Commenting on the milestone, Mohammed AlQurashi, Founder of Saudi FoodTech, said: “The strong flow of private investment into sustainable agriculture underscores the collective commitment to building a resilient and modern food system. This momentum is helping unlock opportunities across the value chain from farm to fork. It also reinforces the idea that Saudi Arabia is now a serious destination for innovation-backed agricultural capital and that the sector is ready for long-term value creation.”
Saudi FoodTech plays a role in attracting investment to the sector through curated programming, founder-investor engagement and strategic ecosystem partnerships.
