SALIC: A National Pillar Leading 13 Investments Across 7 Countries on 5 Continents to Advance the Kingdom’s Food Sustainability

Since its establishment in 2009, SALIC has pursued a long-term investment approach. Today, the company holds 13 investments spanning 7 countries across 5 continents. SALIC focuses on markets with clear comparative advantages, enabling national capabilities and forging strategic partnerships that strengthen the food security ecosystem, raising productivity and advancing integration across the food value chain.

SALIC believes that investing in agrifood is more than an economic activity; it is a strategic imperative to ensure supply sustainability and enhance the resilience of the local market, in line with the Kingdom’s ambition for a diversified, food-secure economy. Through its international portfolio, SALIC can access more than 20 million tons of strategic commodities worldwide, reinforcing agility and rapid response to potential disruptions.

The company has also delivered strong financial performance over the past six years: assets under management have grown fivefold to surpass SAR 27 billion, alongside an estimated profit growth rate of 33%. This sustained momentum reflects the success of SALIC’s strategy in building a diversified, high-performing portfolio that balances economic returns with the support of the national priority of food security.

Looking ahead, SALIC will continue to create enduring investment value and cement its role as a leader in the agrifood sector. Guided by a clear strategy and a diversified portfolio across strategic commodities and geographies, the company is enhancing the Kingdom’s readiness to meet future challenges and achieve its developmental aspirations.
