About us
Since our establishment in 2004, Entaj has emerged as one of the most prominent poultry producers in Saudi Arabia, boasting an impressive annual production capacity of over 90 million birds. This achievement places us among the fastest-growing companies in the Kingdom’s poultry industry.
Despite being a relatively recent player in the market, Entaj quickly made its mark by achieving a significant milestone (our first expansion), which brought our production capacity to 60 million birds annually from our celebrated “Entaj” chickens. Through relentless improvements in production efficiency and enhancements to our slaughtering line speed, we successfully scaled up to an annual capacity of 90 million birds.
We initiated a major investment to expand our operations and are now on track to double our production capacity to 185 million birds annually, with operations already in progress.
What We Believe
In 2004, the Arab Company for Agricultural and Industrial Investment began investing in poultry production under the business unit name “Arasco Foods.” Notably, the company launched the “Entaj” brand as a key contributor to the Kingdom’s food supply chain. Through “Entaj,” the company supports local poultry products in response to growing demand. The Arab Company for Agricultural and Industrial Investment is recognized as one of the leading producers in the Kingdom’s poultry market.
