In 2025, our company successfully delivered a customized tomato paste production line to a food processing company in Saudi Arabia, helping the client expand local tomato paste manufacturing capacity and reduce reliance on imports. This tomato paste production line was specifically designed for small- to medium-scale production, making it ideal for regional distributors targeting supermarkets and catering businesses.
Saudi Arabia’s tomato pastes and purees market recorded a positive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.78% from 2019 to 2024, with sales reaching SAR 480.29 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow further, driven by shifting consumer preferences, increased culinary diversity, and rising demand for convenience foods. Under the “Made in Saudi” program, the Kingdom aims to boost local food manufacturing and reduce dependency on imports, creating significant opportunities for small and medium food producers.
