Tanmiah Food Company has launched a strategic partnership with McDonald’s Saudi Arabia to enhance the supply of locally sourced poultry to one of the world’s leading quick-service restaurant chains.
The collaboration aims to raise industry standards and support Saudi Arabia’s agricultural and food security goals by consistently producing larger chickens suitable for deboning and further processing, even under the Kingdom’s challenging farming conditions.
Tanmiah’s partnership with McDonald’s underlines both companies’ long-standing commitment to quality, food safety, and local sourcing, as well as their contribution to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Tanmiah, leveraging advanced environmental controls and stringent farming protocols, is currently the only poultry supplier in the region recognized for raising bigger birds that meet strict safety and regulatory standards.
The larger chickens produced by Tanmiah not only serve local demand but are also supplied to McDonald’s outlets across the wider region, enhancing the company’s role in supporting self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on imported poultry. In line with this growth, Tanmiah is exploring expansion plans within the Kingdom to support its continued partnership with McDonald’s and meet rising market demand.
Together, Tanmiah and McDonald’s Saudi Arabia are driving innovation in poultry farming, optimizing supply chains, and meeting the growing demand for premium, locally raised poultry within the Kingdom’s fast-growing quick-service restaurant (QSR) market.

“At McDonald’s Saudi Arabia, we take great pride in our unwavering commitment to supporting the national economy and advancing local content by empowering our local suppliers. This partnership with Tanmiah is a testament to our shared commitment to localizing poultry production, aligning with Vision 2030, and ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability across every stage of our supply chain.”
Zulfiqar Hamadani, CEO of Tanmiah Food Company, commented that, “Our partnership with McDonald’s Saudi Arabia reflects a shared vision to empower local agriculture and redefine poultry excellence. This collaboration is more than a supply agreement; it’s a step forward for food security, innovation, and sustainability practices in the Kingdom. We are proud to play a pivotal role in building a resilient, world-class halal protein ecosystem.”
The partnership represents a major step forward in improving national food resilience and positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in halal protein production. Both companies extended their appreciation to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture for their continued support in making this initiative possible.
