Recently, Modon signed agreements with a number of specialized companies and one of them is “Seara Arabian Food Industries”, the investment arm in the Middle East and North Africa of the Brazilian Group “GBS”, the largest company globally for manufacturing meat products and derivatives.

It signed, as well, with Alshaya Group and IFCCO, to support Modon’s initiative to establish "Food clusters" as part of the initiatives mandated by the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program "NIDLP" to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s food security in line with Saudi Vision 2030
