The Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi, launched by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and supervised by the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, has emerged as one of the world’s largest seasonal food management systems, transforming a religious ritual into a large-scale humanitarian and logistical operation.
The Hady and Adahi project manages millions of kilograms of meat annually during the Hajj season through an integrated supply chain that delivers sacrificial meat from the holy sites to beneficiaries across Saudi Arabia and around the world. The initiative reflects an advanced Saudi operational model that combines religious commitment, humanitarian outreach, and logistical efficiency.
During Hajj, a network of modern slaughterhouses, specialized veterinary teams, refrigerated transportation fleets, and packaging and distribution centers operate in full coordination to ensure that slaughtering, processing, cooling, and delivery procedures are carried out in line with the highest health and operational standards.
The Hady and Adahi project has become a leading global model in reducing food waste and maximizing the humanitarian value of sacrificial rituals by ensuring the efficient processing, preservation, and distribution of meat to eligible beneficiaries and underserved communities in need across the Kingdom and internationally.
Officials said that the Hady and Adahi initiative highlights the Kingdom’s continued progress in managing the Hajj season through advanced operational systems and humanitarian programs designed to serve pilgrims while extending support to thousands of families and communities worldwide.
The Hady and Adahi Project also reflects Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to enhance sustainability, food management efficiency, and humanitarian coordination as part of its ongoing development of services linked to Hajj and the holy sites.
