Following completion, this terminal will be able to handle, store, and distribute up to 3 million tonnes of grains annually.

The contract was signed by National Grain Company chairman Nasser Abdulrahman Al Issa and Haif Trading & Construction Company CEO Engineer Mansour bin Haif in Riyadh.

Saudi Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture Engineer Abdulrahman Abdulmohsen Al Fadley was quoted by TradeArabia News Service as saying: “Salic relies on the diversification of ports’ geographical location and infrastructures to enhance the food distribution in the region by connecting the kingdom with the global sources of grains.

“In addition, the terminal contributes to importing, transporting, and distributing grains by enhancing the supply chains capabilities in Saudi Arabia and providing logistic support for all importers from the public and private sectors.”
