In 2013, the company announced a plan to establish an aquaculture feed factory in Aseer, with a production capacity of 20 tons per hour and an annual capacity of 96,000 tons, to support its shrimp and fish projects.
In 2015, Saudi Fisheries signed a SAR 7.9 million contract with a Riyadh-based contracting company to begin the civil works of the factory.
