On December 22, National Grain Co., a joint venture between the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co. (SALIC) and Bahri, officially opened the Yanbu Grain Handling Terminal at Yanbu Commercial Port.
The new terminal boasts a storage capacity of 156,000 tonnes, featuring 12 silos with a combined capacity of 96,000 tonnes and a flat warehouse capable of holding 60,000 tonnes. It also includes a 650-meter conveyor belt and can unload up to 800 tonnes of grain per hour from ships.
Constructed over a two-year period, this facility is the first regional center for grain handling at Yanbu Port. It is designed to process up to 3 million tonnes of grain annually, including barley, corn, and soybeans.
The terminal will play a key role in streamlining the import and distribution of grains to Saudi Arabia, strengthening supply chain capabilities, and supporting the country’s food security objectives.
