One-million-dollar global Omnipreneurship Awards Challenge to drive innovation in sustainable food production
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --

Tanmiah Food Company ("Tanmiah" or the "Company", 2281 on the Saudi Exchange), 
a market-leading provider of fresh and processed poultry and other meat 
products, animal feed and health products, and a foods brand franchise 
operator, announced the launch of another edition of the Omnipreneurship Awards 
Sustainability Challenge this week. 

The challenge seeks innovative technological solutions that enable the 
transition from imported corn and soy-based feed towards sustainable, 
nature-positive, and locally produced feed raw materials. This contributes to 
local production by obtaining renewable and sustainable feed sources- Tanmiah 
consumes over 300,000 metric tons of feed currently and 100% of this is 
imported.

To mitigate the current dependency on imported feed, align with 
self-sufficiency and food security goals in Saudi Arabia, and contribute to 
Vision 2030, we aim to provide a solution that enables Tanmiah to produce feed 
locally, cost-effectively, at an industrial scale and in a nature-positive and 
sustainable manner.

Tanmiah's CEO, Zulifqar Hamadani, highlighted, "The Omnipreneurship Awards 
Sustainability Challenge is another critical step that we are taking towards 
our strategic goal of becoming a carbon-neutral organization. Driven by our 
commitment to align our business operations to one of the Saudi Vision 
Realization Programs and the National Transformation Program, we are delighted 
to extend this opportunity to leading industry experts and other innovator 
scholars to showcase solutions that conserve the environment."

Ahmed Sharaf Osilan, Executive board member and Managing Director of Tanmiah, 
added: "Following the tremendous success of the Challenge in 2020 which saw 93 
participants from 41 countries compete to reduce carbon emissions from food 
production, generate commercial value from production waste and the 
announcement of the USD 1 million grand prize winner Polymeron, under the 
patronage of HE the Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, we look 
forward to new ground-breaking initiatives. The Challenge is in line with the 
National Transformation Program, a key pillar of Saudi Vision 2030; Tanmiah is 
committed to become a more socially responsible corporate citizen, that 
continues to play a pioneering role in the Kingdom's food security and 
self-sufficiency goals."
