Port of NEOM has entered into a new collaboration with NAL Foods aimed at strengthening regional food security by exploring the development of inbound feed and grain supply chains serving Tabuk and northwest Saudi Arabia.

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to establishing stable and diversified supply networks that support the Kingdom's long-term food security objectives while enhancing the resilience of agricultural and livestock supply chains.

Under the agreement, the two organizations will explore opportunities to facilitate the movement of feed and grain commodities into the region through Port of NEOM, leveraging the port's strategic location on the Red Sea and its expanding multimodal transport network.

Port of NEOM's connectivity to major global supply markets—including South America, Europe, Russia, Australia and South Asia—positions it as a key gateway for importing essential agricultural commodities. Its cargo-handling capabilities, which accommodate bulk, general cargo and containerized shipments, provide the flexibility needed to support growing regional demand.

The collaboration is expected to provide NAL Foods with reliable access to critical feed and grain supplies, supporting livestock farming, agriculture and food production across northwest Saudi Arabia. Port of NEOM's inland logistics network and developing multimodal infrastructure are also expected to strengthen the efficient distribution of essential commodities throughout the region.

The partnership aligns with Port of NEOM's broader strategy to expand its infrastructure and operational capacity while enhancing regional connectivity and supply chain resilience. It also supports Saudi Arabia's long-term efforts to reinforce food security and build a more diversified and sustainable agricultural supply chain.
