Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia’s poultry sector has reached complete self-sufficiency in table egg production, with output surpassing 8 billion eggs by 2024, according to the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture.
The Ministry highlighted that the Kingdom’s egg production not only meets domestic demand but also generates a surplus, reinforcing national food security. Eggs remain a key dietary staple, widely used in daily meals and various culinary preparations.
