Arabian Farms

What Arabian Farms does

Arabian Farms Development Co. LLC is a fully integrated poultry producer headquartered in Dubai, UAE, operating across the UAE (Dubai, Al Ain) and Saudi Arabia (Al Kharj) under the SAHA consumer brand. Founded in 1977 and renamed to its current form in 1997, the company produces fresh table eggs, specialty eggs (Omega-3, Selenium, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Lutein, Pasteurized, and Organic Fed), and fresh chicken products (whole chicken, breast fillets, drumsticks, thighs, wings, minced, mixed parts, and offal) for GCC retail and food-service customers. Its product portfolio includes the UAE's first pasteurized shell eggs, manufactured through patented Korean, US, and UK technology regulated by SFC Korea standards. The company serves 5,000+ customers through cooperative societies (Abu Dhabi Coop, Al Ain Coop, Ajman Coop), supermarkets (Al Maya, Al Suroor), grocery stores, and hypermarkets, with regional sales supervisors covering Dubai, Sharjah, Northern Emirates, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and KSA markets (Riyadh/Dammam, Jeddah/Madina/Makkah).

The company's technology stack centers on a vertically integrated farm-to-fork value chain comprising a hatchery (387,072 eggs/cycle), automated feed mill using German computerized technology (10 tons/hour, 3,000+ tons annual capacity), 21 climate-controlled broiler houses (33,600 birds each), a 3,000 birds/hour slaughterhouse, and a rendering plant, all on an 800,000 sqm site in Al Ain. The Dubai layer farm operates 1 million sqm with 3 rearing houses and 7 laying houses. The company holds ISO 22000:2005 food safety certification and Halal certification with hand-slaughter protocols, claiming a 12-hour farm-to-table freshness window. Promoters SEDCO Holding Group (43+ years Saudi investment group) and Saudi Bugshan Co provide patient capital backing, with a formal holding company structure established in 2018 and Oracle NetSuite ERP deployed across all three entities in 2020.

Arabian Farms earns revenue primarily through hardware sales of eggs (220-270 million units annually) and broiler meat (6,000 tons annually), plus offal products. Distribution is channel-partner-driven with regional supervisors, Business Coordinators, and Area Sales Managers managing distributor and retailer relationships across the GCC. The company has no disclosed public pricing model, no app presence, and no public-facing API, although it has signaled expansion intent for liquid eggs and SAHA Fresh Chicken (launched 2020). All products are positioned as cage-free, halal-certified, with no hormones or antibiotics, targeting consumers and food-service operators prioritizing domestic supply, food safety, and freshness in the UAE and KSA markets.
