National Hydro-Farms builds Saudi Arabia's first high-capacity, fully automated hydroponic fodder systems. We turn the country's dependence on imported feed into a scalable, water-positive industry.
Saudi Arabia lost its domestic feed base and now leans on imports, in a climate where conventional farming simply cannot cope.
Local alfalfa cultivation banned since 2018 to protect fossil aquifers. The primary domestic feed source vanished overnight.
Around 5 million tonnes of fodder imported every year, and rising. Feed security is fully outsourced.
Open-field and basic greenhouse fodder cannot survive Saudi summers. Conventional systems overheat and fail.
26M tonnes needed annually. Dairy expansion and 14M+ sheep and goats drive relentless growth.
It runs on a Siemens PLC with remote monitoring, so almost no manual work is needed.
A 3,500 W system holds full yield even at 50°C outside.
Closed-loop recirculation with ozone-sterilised air and water.
In one week, barley seed becomes six to eight times its weight in fresh fodder, at 14 to 16% protein.
of fresh green fodder, produced every day of the year, whatever the weather is doing outside.
Every container delivers real gains in water, food security and carbon, all aligned with Vision 2030 and Net Water Positive goals.
A closed loop recycles water and draws nothing from stressed aquifers, using up to 98% less freshwater for every kilogram of fodder.
A domestic, year-round supply that displaces roughly 530 tonnes of imported feed per container, insulated from import shocks.
Grown exactly where it is consumed, cutting long-haul feed-import logistics and emissions.
of the setup cost is government-financed, so the blended cost of capital sits near 0.8% a year.
A market worth SAR 25 to 45 billion with a clear path to substitution. Our five year target is 55 to 60 containers.
