Socio-economic Impact
27
By 2030, SALIC will make significant contributions to GDP, the agricultural trade deficit,
and job creation through its diversified investments
Impact on National GDP Impact on Trade Deficit Impact on Local Job Creation
(Bn SAR) (Bn SAR) (‘000 Jobs)
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
roles and responsibilities

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
