How Marai Almatar Delivers a Reliable Supply Chain

Introduction

In the live-sheep import business, reliability is everything. A single delayed consignment can cascade through slaughterhouses, restaurants, and retailers. Marai Almatar’s supply chain is engineered for resilience, transparency, and speed.

1. Sourcing & Partner Selection

• • 18 Approved Countries: Including Sudan, Romania, Jordan, and Spain—chosen for their strong veterinary infrastructure and breed genetics.

  • Farm Audits & Contracts: Multi-year agreements secure priority allocation, and on-site audits validate animal welfare standards.

2. Sea-Freight Logistics

• • Chartered Vessels: We regularly charter livestock carriers with controlled ventilation, temperature monitoring, and onboard veterinary teams.

  • Route Optimisation: Shortest-distance sea lanes reduce transit times by up to 15%.

3. Quarantine & Inland Transport

• • Strategic Quarantine Hubs: Located near Jeddah and Dammam ports, these facilities perform final health clearances within 72 hours.

  • Last-Mile Distribution: Refrigerated trucks equipped with shock-absorbent stalls maintain animal comfort on the road to slaughterhouses.

4. Technology & Tracking

• • RFID Ear Tags: Each sheep carries an ear tag that feeds into our central database—clients can scan codes to verify origin, age, and health records.

  • Dashboard & Alerts: Live dashboards flag any deviations in temperature, humidity, or location, triggering proactive interventions.

5. Customer Service & Continuous Improvement

• • Dedicated Account Managers: Each client has a single point of contact for orders, tracking, and after-sales support.

  • Feedback Loop: Post-season surveys and on-site visits drive quarterly process refinements, keeping our service quality high.

From farm gate to butchery line, Marai Almatar’s supply chain is a competitive advantage—delivering healthier, better-graded sheep on time, every time.
