Food is a fundamental necessity for humanity, intricately interwoven with the progress and development of civilisation. The world's rapid growth has increased the demand for food, but factors like climate change, conflicts, and natural disasters have caused scarcity. Adapting to new realities, the milling industry has emerged as a pivotal stakeholder, aiding governments in attaining food security and providing vital support to the local communities they serve. In the arid climate of Saudi Arabia, the harsh environment imposes significant constraints on agricultural productivity, and the issue of food availability and accessibility takes on an even greater urgency. First Mills, a leading force in the domestic milling industry, has played an instrumental role in bolstering the kingdom’s food security and accessibility. The company accomplishes this by producing a diverse range of high-quality products, including flour, feed, bran, and various flour derivatives. With four strategically placed large-capacity mills in Jeddah, Qassim, Tabuk, and Al-Hasa, First Mills effectively utilises its geographical position to deliver its products to most of the kingdom's population centres. Notably, the Jeddah Plant, positioned adjacent to the Jeddah Islamic Port on the principal Red Sea international shipping corridor, has proven critical for maintaining a streamlined and efficient supply chain. This allows for the successful import and export of crucial raw materials used in the milling industry from both the Eastern and Western hemispheres.
