Saudi Aquaculture Riyadh

Saudi Aquaculture is the leading trade fair for the aquaculture industry in Saudi Arabia and forms an integral part of the renowned Saudi Agriculture, which has been the flagship event for agriculture, livestock, and food processing in the Middle East for over four decades. Held annually at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre (RICEC) – a state-of-the-art venue that combines international standards with regional relevance – the event is organized by Riyadh Exhibitions Company Ltd., one of the country’s foremost trade show organizers.

Exclusively designed for industry professionals, the event provides a comprehensive overview of the entire aquaculture value chain – from breeding and processing to marketing and logistics. It targets decision-makers, investors, aquaculture operators, and political and economic stakeholders involved in building a sustainable, locally rooted seafood and fisheries sector in Saudi Arabia.

At its core, the fair showcases advanced technologies and innovations tailored to the region’s specific climatic and ecological conditions. A particular highlight is the presentation of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) – closed-loop systems that drastically reduce water consumption, enabling sustainable fish farming far from coastal areas. The exhibition also features automated feeding systems, premium fish feed, cutting-edge hatchery technology, and specialized solutions for genetic optimization and breeding.

Another key focus is aquaculture health and disease management. The fair presents a wide array of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, diagnostic tools, and digital monitoring systems. These are complemented by modern biosecurity concepts aimed at preventing disease outbreaks and ensuring both animal welfare and production reliability.

In the areas of processing, packaging, and logistics, Saudi Aquaculture offers a broad range of solutions – including automated filleting and slaughtering systems, innovative packaging technologies such as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), and intelligent cold chain logistics for domestic and international markets.

Sustainability and environmental management are also central themes. Featured technologies include advanced water treatment systems, alternative feeds based on insects or algae, and tools for measuring and reducing environmental impact. In a region where water and natural resources are particularly scarce, the event provides concrete answers to some of today’s most pressing challenges.

With its clear focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, Saudi Aquaculture is more than just a trade fair – it is a strategic platform supporting the transformation of Saudi Arabia’s food production landscape. It serves as an annual gathering point for thought leaders, investors, and pioneers shaping the future of aquaculture in the Middle East.

Visitors and exhibitors meet for the 7th time on the Saudi Aquaculture on 4 days from Mon., 20.10.2025 to Thur., 23.10.2025 in Riyadh.
