Saudi Arabia Microgreens Market Trends & Drivers:

Saudi Arabia’s microgreens market is experiencing significant growth driven by the rapid expansion of controlled environment agriculture (CEA), with the Agricultural Development Fund investing approximately $220 million (SAR 825 million) in high-tech greenhouses between 2021 and 2025, financing up to 70% of capital expenses for these projects. The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture has set ambitious targets to increase organic production by 300%, positioning microgreens as a key component of the Kingdom’s evolving agri-tech landscape and strengthening domestic food production resilience while addressing water scarcity challenges through innovative vertical farming and hydroponic technologies.

The booming hospitality and fine dining sectors are creating unprecedented demand for premium microgreens, with Saudi Arabia recording nearly 30 million inbound tourists in 2024, up from 27.4 million in 2023, with Vision 2030 targeting 70 million annual visitors. Hotel performance metrics demonstrate strong growth with average daily rates rising 35.6% and revenue per available room (RevPAR) climbing 43.9% by mid-2024, as restaurants and hotels increasingly incorporate microgreens into wellness-oriented menus to meet evolving consumer preferences for nutritious, visually appealing, and locally-sourced ingredients that enhance both presentation and nutritional value.

Technological advancements in vertical farming and hydroponics are transforming microgreens production capabilities across the Kingdom, with major projects including Green Basket’s 1,087 square meter vertical farm in Riyadh using advanced iFarm technology, and Mitsui Corporation’s 3,500 square meter facility targeting 100 tons annual output. NEOM’s partnerships with Dutch greenhouse experts Van der Hoeven to establish advanced growing facilities exemplify the Kingdom’s commitment to agricultural innovation. The organic food market is projected to grow at 9.4% CAGR during 2025-2033, while the organic fertilizer market is expected to reach USD 455.6 million by 2030 at 11.8% CAGR, demonstrating strong consumer demand for sustainable, locally-grown produce that reduces import dependency and supports food security objectives.
