PIF company to unlock camel industry potential

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has set up a company to promote the growth of camel milk products and contribute to the development of a sustainable local production system.

The company, Sawani, is the latest step in the Kingdom’s efforts to support the agriculture and food sector, and diversify the local economy in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

Camels have long been an important food and natural resource in the region, providing milk, meat and hides, while camel products play a central role in many customs.
