The facility has the capacity to hatch 10 million day-old chicks and produce 10,000 tonnes of finished goods annually, while the Rendering Plant will process 1,600 tonnes of high-protein meal and 400 tonnes of oil/fat from poultry byproducts.

Al Ghurair Foods is also constructing the region’s first Corn Starch Manufacturing Plant and a 60-hectare broiler farm in KEZAD, projects that complement its Liquid Eggs Facility on the same site.

"Al Rawabi is expanding its market share in the Middle East and Africa, leveraging its strategic location in KEZAD, which offers an integrated trade and logistics platform to facilitate exports across the region."
