Earlier Report Observations

The groundnut oil-cake market in Saudi Arabia began the period with stable production of around 2 200 t in 2018, supported by the introduction of advanced peanut oil pressing machines that improved efficiency. Production edged up to 2 245 t in 2019 as interest grew in high-performance production lines. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains in 2020, leading to a 20% decline in output to 1 802 t.

Production recovered to 1 916 t in 2021 with the entry of new players investing in peanut oil plants and government support for the vegetable oil sector. The following year, tighter food safety and quality regulations forced producers to adapt, temporarily reducing production by 31% to 1 326 t. By 2023, after adjusting to the new standards and benefiting from earlier investments, output surged by 64% to reach 2 173 t.
