Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Aviagen announced plans to establish a fully-owned Grandparent (GP) poultry operation in Saudi Arabia, marking a major step in its “global reach, local touch” strategy.

Currently in early development, the facility will produce and distribute Parent Stock (PS) locally, reinforcing Aviagen’s commitment to meeting growing poultry demand across the Kingdom and the wider Gulf region, as per the company’s press release.

The new Saudi-based GP farm will serve as a regional distribution hub, enhancing supply chain resilience and aligning with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals for food security and agricultural growth. Aviagen said the investment will improve customer service, ensure consistent supply, and support the development of the local poultry industry.

Tom Exley, President of Aviagen TMEA said: “This strategic initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to the region, enabling us to deliver greater value to our customers through enhanced security of supply and tailored customer support. By investing locally, Aviagen is helping to strengthen the poultry industry and contribute to the region’s food security and economic development goals.”
