Saudi Arabia Aquaculture Market- A Step into the Growing Seafood Sector

  • Sonika Shukla

Aquaculture involves the breeding, rearing and harvesting of marine animals and aquatic plants in a controlled ecosystem to optimize utilization of farm resources, augment farm production, generate employment, produce adequate food, and dispose of agricultural waste. In Saudi Arabia, aquaculture has become an important source of food as the health-conscious population is increasingly becoming aware of the health benefits of consuming protein-rich meat, which is boosting the growth of the kingdom’s Aquaculture market. Besides, the country is involved with the seafood trade of aquatic organisms like fish, molluscs, crustaceans and other aquatic flora that is promoting the growth of the Saudi Arabia aquaculture market.
