Profile and Background

Saudi Fisheries Company was created in 1981 to develop fisheries in a more coherent way in Saudi territorial waters. Government agencies own 40 per cent of the company's shares. It has invested in fleets of fishing and shrimping vessels and in a network of fish retail outlets.

Saudi Fisheries has also set up two fish processing factories, one in Dammam and the other in Jizan in the far southwest of the kingdom. They have capacity to deal with about 60 tonnes of fish a day. The company's five cold stores have total capacity of 2,740 tonnes.

After losses in 1996, Saudi Fisheries crept in profit in 1997 on the back of a 12 per cent contraction in the cost of sales. Sales fell by 4 per cent to SR 208.4 million ($55.6 million). The Saudi recession in 1998 dealt a fresh blow to the company.

Sales revenues fell modestly to SR 204 million ($54 million). As a result, the company moved back into the red and reported a loss for the year of almost SR 10 million ($2.7 million).
