Saudi Arabia
- ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Saudi Arabia
has an oil-based economy with strong government controls over major economic
activities. It possesses about one-fifth of the world's proven petroleum
reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role
in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 80% of budget revenues, 45%
of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. Saudi Arabia is encouraging the growth of
the private sector in order to diversify its economy and to employ more Saudi
nationals. Diversification efforts are focusing on power generation,
telecommunications, natural gas exploration, and petrochemical sectors. Almost
6 million foreign workers play an important role in the Saudi economy,
particularly in the oil and service sectors, while Riyadh is struggling to
reduce unemployment among its own nationals. Saudi officials are particularly
focused on employing its large youth population, which generally lacks the
education and technical skills the private sector needs. Riyadh has
substantially boosted spending on job training and education, most recently
with the opening of the King Abdallah University of Science and Technology -
Saudi Arabia''s first co-educational university. As part of its effort to
attract foreign investment, Saudi Arabia acceded to the WTO in December 2005
after many years of negotiations. The government has begun establishing six
"economic cities" in different regions of the country to promote
foreign investment and plans to spend $373 billion between 2010 and 2014 on
social development and infrastructure projects to advance Saudi Arabia''s
economic development.

Activities: Engaged in the production and marketing of
dairy products, butter, cheese, milk, fruit juices, cream, UHT and evaporated
milk. The company’s operations are performed through the following divisions:
Al Marai Feed Factory
PO Box: 8524
Riyadh 11492
Tel: (966-1) 4700005
The Farming Division is engaged in the operation of a number of farms supporting
a herd of 45,000 Holstein Friesian cows that are used to produce the milk
necessary for the processing division.
It was the first dairy farm in the world to gain ISO 9002 accreditation.
It is also involved in the manufacture of animal feeds.
The
Processing Division is responsible for the assembly of raw milk from farms, the
processing of milk and cheese, the importation of a range of long life products
and the subsequent distribution of all product from the cold stores and factory
to 28 depots.
Prior to 1996 the company operated four fresh dairy processing plants
and a cheese blending plant with an additional 70,000 litre per day pilot
project plant used for new product development. The plants were located at
Jeddah on the Red Sea coast, Khamis Mushayt in the South West highland region,
at Al Kharj approximately 100 kilometres south of Riyadh in the Central
Province and one farm-based plant approximately 150 kilometres from Dammam on
the Arabian Gulf.
In order to achieve anticipated sales growth, product expansion and to
maintain high quality standards, increased and enhanced processing capacity was
identified as a key strategic requirement. Accordingly in 1994, the company
commenced the construction of a state of the art 45,000 square meter processing
facility, which more than doubled production capacity and significantly
strengthened the company’s ability to expand the product range and also to
rationalize existing sites. The plant commenced production in August 1996 and has
a capacity of 1.5m litres per day.
Currently, over 60% of all milk is fermented into a product called “Laban”, a traditional Middle Eastern drink akin to
a natural drinking yoghurt and approximately 25% is processed as fresh milk.
Other products include a set yoghurt called “Zabadi”, a thick spooning cream called “Ghiste”, a fermented fat product called “Labneh”, UHT milk, and a wide range of fruited
products including stirred and set yoghurts and fruit laban. Milk and Laban are
produced in full fat (3%) and low fat forms and all products are packaged in a
variety of sizes and conventional formats.
The cheese blending factory is dedicated to the processing of a cream
cheese, which is packed in glass jars, cans and plastic pots. In 1993, the
company commenced production of full fat recombined milk and a range of
flavoured recombined milks.
The new processing plant was voted "World’s Food Plant of the Year
1998" by US-based Food International Magazine.
