Tanmiah Food Company and McDonald’s Saudi Arabia have announced significant advancements in their strategic partnership to scale up local poultry production, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives for food security and agricultural self-sufficiency. The collaboration reinforces a shared commitment to strengthening the domestic agri-food ecosystem by enhancing supply chain reliability and quality standards for halal poultry in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector.

Tanmiah, recognized for its regional leadership in sustainable poultry farming and animal health innovation, has positioned itself as the only consistent supplier in the Gulf capable of producing larger birds suited for deboning and further processing. This capability is particularly critical for QSR chains like McDonald’s, which require high-spec poultry inputs to maintain uniformity across thousands of meal servings nationwide.

The partnership is designed to meet the complex logistical and environmental challenges of raising poultry under the Kingdom’s demanding climate conditions. By leveraging precision farming techniques, advanced nutrition, and robust environmental control systems, Tanmiah continues to set new benchmarks in regional poultry production. The collaboration marks a significant step in reducing reliance on imported meat products while expanding the Kingdom’s halal protein footprint across international markets.

Both companies have reaffirmed their intention to explore further expansion of their poultry operations in Saudi Arabia, a move prompted by increasing consumer demand for traceable, high-quality halal poultry across the Gulf region. This includes potential investments in hatcheries, feed mills, and processing units that would deepen vertical integration within the domestic supply chain.

The initiative has also drawn institutional backing from the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, whose support underscores the national importance of private-sector partnerships in modernizing local food production. The Tanmiah-McDonald’s collaboration stands as a model for aligning commercial priorities with national development goals, contributing not only to food security but also to economic diversification and employment generation within Saudi Arabia’s agricultural sector.

As demand for locally raised, responsibly processed poultry continues to grow, the partnership represents a pivotal contribution to the Kingdom’s ambitions of becoming a regional hub for premium halal protein production.
