Almarai says diesel price hike to raise costs by nearly SAR 70M in 2026

The company will also face an expected indirect impact from other parts of its supply chain, according to a Tadawul statement.

Almarai will continue to focus on enhancing operational efficiency, optimizing costs, and implementing various initiatives to mitigate the impact of the diesel price increase, the statement said.

According to Argaam data, Almarai announced last year that the increase in diesel prices effective Jan. 1, 2025, would result in direct additional costs of about SAR 200 million over the year.
