ARASCO is highly invested in innovation to meet the rapidly changing needs of the industry. We strive to focus on developing better products and services and discovering new opportunities. We foster innovation through intensive research and development, in collaboration with reputable universities, institutions and suppliers locally and internationally, to enhance our competitive advantage and support our vision to play an integral part in the food supply chain.
One revolutionary breakthrough of ARASCO is WAFI, the unique all-in-one game-changing compound feed we developed for feeding livestock that drastically reduces the water footprint of animal farming. Also, we pioneered an innovative method of poultry farming through ARASCO Food that can adapt to harsh weather conditions with low mortality rates and increased productivity. In addition, we have conceived innovative solutions for food and beverage companies through the cutting-edge quality food ingredients and services of IDAC Merieux and MEFSCO. These are just a few world-class innovations that ARASCO has unveiled through the years, creating a profound impact in the food industry’s history.

One of the distinctive strengths of ARASCO is its highly efficient supply chain that makes the best use of its own resources, offering utmost capability to effectively manage its operations in terms of quality, cost and availability, making it one of the most dependable food security companies in the region.
We utilize our own vessels to transport bulk agricultural commodities from various countries such as Argentina, Brazil and USA to Saudi Arabia. These cargos are then securely handled in Dammam Port and stored in our bio-secure silos and warehouses. Through ARASCO’s various transportation modes, we deliver raw ingredients to our cutting-edge mills, where quality feeds are manufactured according to strict hygiene protocols. These feeds are then delivered to farms with our very own trucks, while distributors represent us at feed markets. ARASCO’s rich poultry farms and state-of-the-art broiler processing plant supply fresh, tasty and affordable poultry products to retail markets.
