PIF-owned SALIC acquires full ownership of National Grain Co.
What happened
The Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co. is transferring ownership of the National Grain Co. to its subsidiary, the National Grain Supply Co., known as SABIL. This transfer followed SALIC, which is owned by the Public Investment Fund, acquiring the remaining 50 percent stake to take full ownership. The integration combines SABIL’s management of the strategic wheat reserve and national silo network with the National Grain Co.’s expertise in international sourcing and local market operations.
