SALIC and Bahri formed the National Grain Company in Saudi Arabia with an initial investment of about SAR 412mn, to handle grain trade and storage from Black Sea, European, South American and Red Sea sources. The terminal will start at 3 million tons per year by 2022 and rise to 5 million.
A new large-scale Saudi import and storage platform adds demand-side handling capacity for grain imports, supporting import flows but unlikely to move prices on its own in the near term.
