Saudi Arabia's Adahi Project Achieves Full Operational Readiness For Hajj Season 1446 AH

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi has declared its complete readiness for the Hajj season 1446 AH. The project spans over one million square meters with seven sacrificial animal complexes, capable of processing over one million animals in just 84 hours. This operation is supported by a workforce of 25,000 specialists from various countries.

Among the personnel are 600 Islamic specialists, more than 500 veterinarians, 16,500 butchers and their assistants, and 400 technicians. This year introduces advanced technology with an AI-based system for counting slaughters, automated weighing to ensure Islamic compliance, and a new tracking system for meat distribution to beneficiaries.

The project aims to process sacrifices at a rate of one every seven seconds, efficiently managing the high seasonal demand. Improved sterilization and unified protocols are in place to maintain top health and safety standards. So far, they have received 770,000 livestock, surpassing the target of 750,000 animals.

Distribution efforts during Hajj focus on the Makkah Region but will expand post-season to cover all regions within the Kingdom and extend to 27 countries internationally. The core goal is to broaden the distribution network so that sacrificial meat reaches as many beneficiaries as possible worldwide.

Embracing digital trends, the project offers pilgrims an easy way to purchase sacrificial bonds through a website available in three languages. This ensures convenience and security for pilgrims from diverse backgrounds. Continuous transportation from supplier farms supports this massive operation.

The integration of smart technologies marks a significant technological leap for this season. The operational system includes AI-based slaughter counting systems and automated weighing mechanisms that ensure compliance with Islamic practices.

The project's objective remains focused on expanding its reach globally while maintaining robust operational expertise supported by modern technologies. This approach ensures that sacrificial meat benefits the largest number of people possible.
