Riyadh - Asharq Al-Awsat

Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC), an arm of Saudi Arabia's state-owned Public Investment Fund, said on Thursday that it had purchased Baladjie, an aggregation of over 200,000 hectares of farmland in Australia.

The purchase of Baladjie, which also owns 40,000 merino sheep, in Western Australia’s wheat belt is the company’s first investment in the country and in sheep production, the company said in a statement, Bloomberg reported.

"It is our first acquisition in Australia as well as our first investment in sheep production," Chief Executive Officer Matthew Jansen said.

The deal “is an important step for SALIC as we continue to build our global footprint in a meaningful way,” Jansen added.

They will import it on Hajj season from there own farm to meet the demand. That's a pretty good idea tho

but im confused why they bought the land in Australia when they were in talks with Pakistan in 2009 for the farmland. Maybe the deal didn't went thru

Middle E importing Australian meat for decades, they trust more on quality control of Australian then Pakistani. Even though Pakistani animal feed in wild. Which has higher price then raise in farm. In North America, farm raise animal price is much less the animal raised in natural fields..
