RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Tanmiah Food Company ("Tanmiah" or the "Company", 2281 on the Saudi Exchange),

a market-leading provider of fresh and processed poultry and other meat

products, animal feed and health products, and a foods brand franchise

operator, announced the launch of another edition of the Omnipreneurship Awards

Sustainability Challenge this week.

The challenge seeks innovative technological solutions that enable the

transition from imported corn and soy-based feed towards sustainable,

nature-positive, and locally produced feed raw materials. This contributes to

local production by obtaining renewable and sustainable feed sources- Tanmiah

consumes over 300,000 metric tons of feed currently and 100% of this is

imported.

To mitigate the current dependency on imported feed, align with

self-sufficiency and food security goals in Saudi Arabia, and contribute to

Vision 2030, we aim to provide a solution that enables Tanmiah to produce feed

locally, cost-effectively, at an industrial scale and in a nature-positive and

sustainable manner.

Tanmiah's CEO, Zulifqar Hamadani, highlighted, "The Omnipreneurship Awards

Sustainability Challenge is another critical step that we are taking towards

our strategic goal of becoming a carbon-neutral organization. Driven by our

commitment to align our business operations to one of the Saudi Vision

Realization Programs and the National Transformation Program, we are delighted

to extend this opportunity to leading industry experts and other innovator

scholars to showcase solutions that conserve the environment."

Ahmed Sharaf Osilan, Executive board member and Managing Director of Tanmiah,

added: "Following the tremendous success of the Challenge in 2020 which saw 93

participants from 41 countries compete to reduce carbon emissions from food

production, generate commercial value from production waste and the

announcement of the USD 1 million grand prize winner Polymeron, under the

patronage of HE the Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, we look

forward to new ground-breaking initiatives. The Challenge is in line with the

National Transformation Program, a key pillar of Saudi Vision 2030; Tanmiah is

committed to become a more socially responsible corporate citizen, that

continues to play a pioneering role in the Kingdom's food security and

self-sufficiency goals."
