The booming foreign population, tourism industry and economic progress in the region have fuelled an increasing demand for high-end seafood products such as lobsters, scallops, and other high-quality fish. • According to the FAO statistics, the average per capita consumption of fish and seafood for the Middle East in 2010 was 9.9 kg per year and growing. When taking only the GCC region into consideration however, the average per capita consumption is significantly higher at 14.4 kg per year. • More specifically, the UAE has one of the world’s highest seafood consumption rates, estimated at 28.6 kg per year. Other countries in the region, such as in Qatar, also have a high seafood consumption rate at 24.5 kg per year, respectively (FAO Statistics). These factors alone could create opportunities for Canadian fish and seafood exports to the region. • When looking at only lobster and lobster products suppliers to the GCC in 2014, India was that top supplier with sales of US$6.1 million and a market share of 36.4%, followed by the U.S. with US$5.4 million (32.1%) and Canada with sales reaching over US$2.6 million (15.9%). The top three supplying countries made up 84.4% of the overall market share thus indicating a very concentrated supply environment. In 2014, Canada experienced an increase in lobster sales of 33.8% and an increase in market share of 9.2% from a 6.7% in 2013.

  • 2018 Food Processing Ingredients Saudi Arabia
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 3/29/2018 GAIN Report Number: SA1804 Saudi Arabia Food Processing Ingredients 2018 Approved By: Alan Hallman, U.S. Embassy, Riyadh Prepared By: Hussein Mousa, U.S. Embassy, Riyadh Report Highlights: The Saudi food processing sector has been rapidly growing due to government support of food processers, rising per capita income, and major demographic and socio-economic changes. These factors have supported an increase in the number of Saudi food processing companies, from 691 firms in 2005 to 938 firms in 2016. Investment in this sector increased by approximately 11% per year from 2007 to 2016, and reached $23 billion in 2016. Attractive investment conditions have lured some multinational corporations to establish production facilities in Saudi Arabia. Most Saudi food manufacturers depend on imports to secure their needs of food ingredients and raw materials. In 2016, Saudi Arabia imported about $2.345 billion worth of food ingredients for further processing. U.S. suppliers provided about 6 percent of these food processing products. Saudi Arabia exports a significant part of its processed food production, estimated at $1.22 billion in 2016, sharp decrease compared to approximately three billion exported in 2015. SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY The Saudi food manufacturing and processing sector has rapidly grown in the past ten years. Support from the Saudi Government includes direct subsidies for selected food production equipment, low land leasing prices, long term interest free loans, duty free imports of raw materials, and highly subsided utilities.
