Nabt

Nabt, the Saudi agritech startup, raised USD 3.4 million in a Seed Extension round. The round brings the company’s total funding to USD 5 million. The round was led by SHG Group with participation from Merak Capital and several angel investors. 

The announcement was made during the Sunbola program event under Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture. Senior leaders from Nabt, SHG Group, and Merak Capital attended the signing ceremony. The event highlighted the strategic importance of the company’s mission within the Kingdom’s food-security priorities.

Nabt builds digital and physical infrastructure for Saudi Arabia’s fresh-produce market. Its model aims to improve farmer profitability while ensuring consistent, high-quality supply for businesses. It focuses on reducing inefficiencies across the value chain through technology, data, and integrated logistics.

The company operates an expanding warehouse hub that manages fulfilment, sorting, and last-mile cold-chain logistics. This hub connects farmers directly with commercial buyers. Nabt recently launched its Online Auction platform to enable large-scale produce trading across the Kingdom. The platform aims to increase transparency, improve pricing, and support better market access for farmers.

Fresh Produce Infrastructure

Nabt also offers Nabt Intel, a real-time market-intelligence tool. The system provides live pricing data and demand trends. It enables farmers to understand market movements and maximise crop value. The tool also helps businesses plan purchases with better accuracy.

The new funding will support expansion into new Saudi cities. Nabt plans to broaden its product portfolio and strengthen its national customer network. The company will also enhance its operational infrastructure to improve reach for farmers. The goal is to boost supply stability and support the Kingdom’s food-security agenda.

Nabt’s strategy aligns with Saudi Arabia’s wider efforts to modernise agriculture and build resilient food-supply systems. The company aims to position itself as a core infrastructure player in the regional fresh-produce ecosystem.
