Why it matters

In 2022, SABIC Agri-Nutrients Co witnessed a remarkable surge in its full-year net profit, soaring by 92% year-on-year to reach $2.7 billion (SAR 10.3 billion). This impressive increase can be attributed to the company's higher sales volume and prices. Additionally, SABIC Agri-Nutrients disbursed cash dividends amounting to SAR 3.80 billion for H2 2022 in April of that year.
