Methodology

Almarai is the largest dairy company in the Middle East. The farmland exposure is small relative to total enterprise value — most of the SAR 25,093M Net PP&E reflects dairy plants, poultry processing, bakeries, and distribution. This refined 5-row breakdown explicitly separates farmland from processing: Farmland-relevant rows (~$1.7B book): - Fondomonte Argentina (35K acres): the most identifiable farmland asset — alfalfa for export to Saudi feedlots - Saudi forage farms (35K acres): supporting Almarai's dairy operations - Dairy operating land (50K acres): land + dairy facilities Non-farmland rows ($14.8B book): - Poultry + bakery + processing (Hael Farms + Western Bakeries + Modern Food Industries) - Distribution + retail + cold chain The farmland-only carve-out (Fondomonte + Saudi forage) is roughly $1.7B of the SAR 25.1B Net PP&E. For pure-farmland comp purposes, Almarai's farmland share is ~7% of total enterprise. The bulk of Almarai's value is downstream branded dairy/poultry/bakery — it shouldn't really be in a farmland comp set, and is included only because of Fondomonte. This refined breakdown makes the partial-farmland-vs-total ratio explicit so readers can adjust accordingly.
