About NADEC

Since its establishment in 1981, the National Agricultural Development Company “NADEC” has contributed to the development of the food industries sector. Drawing on its accumulated experience and ambitious vision, the company has established itself as one of the leading producers and distributors of food and beverages in the Kingdom and the region.

NADEC continues to support the development of the food sector and strengthen the Kingdom’s sustainable food security. It was the first agricultural company to be listed on the Saudi Exchange.
As part of this ongoing journey, NADEC has launched its Strategic Business Plan for 2027–2031, backed by approximately SAR 5 billion in capital investments. The plan is built around three key pillars: strengthening core businesses, expanding growth engines, and supporting business sustainability.
These priorities are advanced through five strategic pillars: dairy, beverages, food manufacturing and production; expansion in the protein sector; advancing excellence in agriculture; delivering integrated food solutions; and improving productivity and efficiency. Building on the capabilities it has developed, the company aims to expand its businesses and investments across the food sector, accelerate commercial execution, and strengthen its contribution to food security in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
