By 2030, SALIC will make significant contributions to GDP, the agricultural trade deficit,
and job creation through its diversified investments

SAR SAR Jobs

SALIC’s contribution to SALIC’s contribution to


agriculture GDP is estimated to reach 14% in 20301 self-sufficiency is estimated to reach 21% in 20302

Key Assumptions

▪ Impact on GDP is derived by adding estimated direct (total output excluding intermediaries) and indirect GDP contribution (us ing industry multipliers) resulting from
the trade balance improvement across the seven prioritized commodities
▪ Impact on trade deficit is based on SALIC’s target TB contribution assumption of 30% (after accounting for private sector and PIF contribution)
▪ Impact on job creation calculation assumes an annual workforce productivity improvement of ~1% and an annual inflation rate of 3%
• 1. Based on (i) the Agri-food TB study forecast of national agriculture direct GDP reaching ~180 Bn SAR in 2030 and (ii) SALIC direct GDP contributions amounting to approximately 24 Bn SAR in 2030; 2. Based on prioritized commodities self-sufficiency reaching 117%
in 2030 (compared to 68% in 2020);
28
To execute its mandates, SALIC will balance multiple

Key parameters considered for framing the SALIC AgTech strategy

What does sustainable food production mean for KSA?


Efficient use of water Optimal usage of land Less Ag inputs Livestock welfare Minimal manpower

Employing water-efficient Optimizing land use Implementing precise and Upholding high standards Leveraging automation
practices to support through strategic crop sustainable input of animal welfare through and smart farming
agricultural production in selection and innovative management to reduce ethical practices and solutions to optimize

Seek globally and build value locally

SALIC's AgTech investment strategy would aim to "Seek innovations globally" and
“Build value locally" to fulfill its KSA tech centricity and food security objectives
Guiding principles to structure SALIC’s AgTech investment strategy1

Strategy: The AgTech workstream will seek a


portfolio of mature/scalable innovations and
disruptive innovations globally to build value
locally in KSA

Seek innovations Build value Deal sourcing: Frameworks would be defined to


assist future deal sourcing integrating both
GLOBALLY LOCALLY proprietary efforts (e.g., sourcing deals from
conferences, CEO connects, etc.) as well as via tech-
Seek innovations enabled sources (using technologies such as
GLOBALLY generative AI)

Localization: AgTech investments would facilitate


localization of invested innovations through
Seek both mature and breakthrough innovation to private players, NewCos/Portcos, tech enablers

Meet strategic goals Greenfield risks/stretched • Co-investments/JVs/Partnerships with
(enhance sustainable food security, reduce trade balance deficit, payback large conglomerates/institutions
increase exports, increase self-sufficiency, overcome commodity • Invest in mature technologies
bottlenecks with minimal resources (land, water, etc)
• Board Seats at KSA JV/Project level to
Transform KSA to be a Center of Excellence and an ensure Project timelines
Innovation Hub
High valuation • Hybrid investments: Explore investment in
both HoldCo and KSA Project Level.
• Ensure SALIC has enough say/seat where IP
Increase high-tech employment of the technology lies

Product offtake risks • Align with SALIC NewCos and SALIC


Portfolio companies

Enable Private Sector participation

Regulatory risks • Need to have synergy with Regulators

2. All downstream technologies will be covered by C. Enabler. Goals is to enable commodity production where the downstream is no t involved
3. Food commerce solutions are deprioritized as part of the assessment

1. We assigned water greater importance when evaluating based on food security impact criteria
2. Aggregated metric for water, land, and energy use efficiency
3. Processing efficiency was included as a metric given the greater processing needs of animal products compared to crops
4. We assigned yield greater importance when evaluating for animal AgTech
