Selling food and agricultural products to Saudi Arabia
Food products sold in Saudi Arabia must meet Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) requirements, including product registration where required, Arabic labelling and, for meat and poultry, approval of the producing establishment and halal certification from an accredited body. Most exporters work with a Saudi importer who holds the right registrations. We help you prepare the files, check labels and find importers. See SFDA food registration.
Defense and dual-use: a structured approach
The Kingdom's localisation goals make it one of the most active defense markets in the region. For Ukrainian manufacturers, the path runs through Saudi licensing by the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), a sound entry structure, a realistic localisation plan and full respect of Ukrainian export control rules. Read our defense page page for the details and our compliance principles.
Setting up a company
Most foreign companies start with an investor registration with the Ministry of Investment (MISA) and a commercial registration. Manufacturers add an industrial license and a site. Government suppliers often need vendor registration and benefit from a local content certificate. See investing in Saudi Arabia.
Working across distance
Many Ukrainian teams work remotely or across several countries. We organise document legalisation, powers of attorney and online meetings so that most of the setup can move forward without long trips, and we plan visits for the moments that matter.
