Tanmiah Food Company Expands Sustainability Partnerships

Tanmiah Food Company (TADAWUL: 2281), a vertically integrated poultry and food producer in Saudi Arabia, announced the signing of two strategic Memorandums of Understanding with SEQUENCIVE sustainability portfolio companies PHYLA and RECYCLEE. The agreements were formalized during IFAT Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom’s dedicated exhibition for waste management and environmental technologies.

The MoUs form part of Tanmiah Food Company’s waste-to-value roadmap, which focuses on enhancing resource efficiency through digital waste management and research into alternative protein sources. The initiatives are intended to support national food security objectives and environmental targets.

Tanmiah Food Company and PHYLA Collaborate on Alternative Protein R&D

Under its agreement with PHYLA, Tanmiah Food Company will lead research and development efforts focused on alternative proteins, specifically the use of Black Soldier Fly larvae. The project explores the bio-conversion of organic waste into high-quality, sustainable animal feed, with the objective of reducing reliance on imported feed ingredients.

Saudi Arabia remains a significant importer of grains, making supply chains sensitive to external disruptions. By advancing localized protein alternatives, Tanmiah Food Company aims to reduce exposure to global supply volatility and contribute to the Kingdom’s target of achieving 90% poultry self-sufficiency by 2030. The initiative is being developed alongside the company’s existing moringa research efforts.

Tanmiah Food Company Advances Digital Waste Management with RECYCLEE

The second MoU, signed with RECYCLEE, focuses on the digital transformation of Tanmiah Food Company’s waste management operations. RECYCLEE’s digital tracking platform will enable the company to monitor, manage, and monetize industrial byproducts across its operations.

The platform is designed to improve transparency, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency, while supporting Saudi Arabia’s national goal of diverting 90% of waste from landfills by 2040. Tanmiah Food Company stated that the digitization of waste streams could also create additional revenue opportunities from byproducts.

Leadership Perspectives on the Strategic Agreements

“At Tanmiah, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond reducing impact; it is focused on creating a resilient, innovative food system for the future,” said Zulfiqar Hamadani, Chief Executive Officer of Tanmiah Food Company. “Through our partnerships with RECYCLEE and PHYLA, we are leveraging technology and biological innovation to improve resource efficiency, strengthen food security, and support national priorities.”

Mohammed AlMadhi, Chief Executive Officer of SEQUENCIVE, said the agreements reflect shared responsibilities aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, emphasizing sustainable feed solutions and landfill diversion through combined technological and operational capabilities.
