Feasibility Study for an Inland Fish Farming Project
Feasibility Study for an Inland Fish Farming Project
An inland fish farming project is an investment venture focused on breeding various types of fish—such as tilapia, bass, carp, and other freshwater species—within closed or semi-closed tanks using modern technologies to ensure sustainable production.
The project relies on well water or other controlled freshwater sources, with the implementation of balanced ecological systems to produce high-quality fish that meet the growing local demand for marine protein.

Demand Analysis
Demand Analysis
The Saudi market is witnessing a significant increase in demand for fish as a healthy protein alternative to red meat. With population growth and changing dietary habits, the need for local production sources has become more urgent to reduce reliance on imports.
Per capita fish consumption in Saudi Arabia is approximately 11–13 kg per year, while the Kingdom imports over 50% of its seafood needs. This presents a strong opportunity for local production.
Saudi Vision 2030 emphasizes food security and the development of aquaculture, which directly supports projects like this.
