Providing job opportunities for women is considered a critical concern for officials and decision makers in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia due to social reasons and limitation of fields in which suitable jobs can be offered for women in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A few years ago, there was a unique experience carried out by National Aquaculture Group in cooperation with Human Resources Fund and cared by Chainman of Board of Directors Sheikh/ Sulaiman Al-Rajhi who adopted and supported the experience himself. The experience was the first to provide job opportunities for Saudi women in aquaculture projects according to Saudi woman requirements and out social and religious customs and traditions. The group employed a group of Saudi women of the local area surrounding the project to work in shrimp preparation factory in the company.

Such group was trained before commencing work in the factory. Then, the first factory for shrimp processing in the company, run by Saudi women, was launched and they still wok there up to know.

Despite the limitation of such work, it is an important step to study the possibility of generalizing this experience in the future and allocating the jobs of processing and manufacturing fish and shrimp to feminine element.

The reasons that made Saudi women work in fish products process suitable are different including that such work is related to women where closed and cooled environment is provided without any external interventions or transportation to perform these tasks. In addition, the company provided a transportation means free of charge from the housing to/ from workplace within organized work program. This had great effect on the success and sustainability of the experience.

A Saudi woman made a telephone intervention in an economic program on Aliqtissadiya TV to talk about this experience. She assured being happy and colleagues who are more than 120 women to work in the company's factory for shrimp and fish. She stated that the company provided them with the most important elements of stability and continuity including good salaries and motiving incentives, work environment fitting traditions and customs, and transportation means from and to workplace.

Based on this experience, the aquaculture official realized that there is a large possibility and chances to employ more Saudi women in aquaculture projects especially those having fish resources processing and packaging facilities spread along with Saudi coasts.
