FYI: Saudi Arabia boasts the world's largest shrimp farm, a remarkable feat in seafood production. Situated on the Red Sea coast, the gigantic shrimp farm is owned by Naqua and spans a vast 5,200 hectares. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and environmentally friendly farming methods, the farm has emerged as a world leader in aquaculture.
With an amazing 100,000 tons of seafood produced each year, the farm is a significant contributor to the global seafood industry. The farm's shrimp is shipped out to 32 countries, spreading the high-quality product to overseas consumers. With this amount of production, not only does Saudi Arabia demonstrate its aquaculture capabilities but it also significantly boosts the economy of the country by increasing the export of seafood.
The success of the farm reflects Saudi Arabia's increasing interest in developing its agricultural and aquaculture industries as part of its Vision 2030 strategy. With an operation of this scale, the kingdom is increasing its food security while capitalizing on the world's demand for high-quality seafood. The sustainable methods of the farm serve as a model for the future of aquaculture and show Saudi Arabia's leadership in the sector.
