在沙特阿拉伯，不断增长的城市化人口对骆驼奶的需求不断增加，刺激了骆驼奶牛场的发展，特别是在城镇周围。全国人均消费量约为33升/年。据报道，在相同的耕作和气候条件下，骆驼奶的产量可能高于奶牛。骆驼的单产在5到20升/天之间，其生产潜力不容忽视。然而，除了最大的奶牛场之外，乳制品价值链并不为人所知。在本研究中，对我国北部119个骆驼养殖场进行了调查，这些养殖场属于各种耕作制度。调查显示，只有16个农场为骆驼奶市场做出了贡献，其他的农场只生产骆驼奶供自己消费。除工业化农场外，市场综合部门组织薄弱。事实上，它由两个子系统代表：(i)一个非正式的子系统，以郊区农业为基础，拥有传统的小型乳品厂，并在当地商店和零售店提供牛奶；（二）以农业部批准的大型现代奶牛场和奶牛厂为代表的正规体系。这两个子系统的产量为1176.44 t/年，而自用量估计为1854t/年。因此，骆驼奶的市场潜力在未来将得到高度开发。
In Saudi Arabia, the increasing demand in camel milk by a growing urbanized population is stimulating the development of camel dairy farms, especially around the towns. The average per capita consumption in the country is about 33 L / year. It was reported that the production of camel milk is potentially higher than that of the cow in the same farming and climatic conditions. With an individual production between 5 to 20 l/day, the production potential of camel is far away from negligible. However, the dairy value chain is not well known except for the biggest dairy farms. In the present study, a survey including 119 camel farms belonging to all kind of farming system was achieved in the northern part of the country. It showed that only 16 farms contributed to the camel milk market, the other ones producing milk only for self-consumption. The market integrated sector is weakly organized, except for the industrial farms. Indeed, it is represented by two subsystems: (i) an informal one based on suburban farming with traditional mini-dairy plants and delivering milk in local shops and retail outlets; (ii) a formal system represented by large modern dairy farms and dairy plants approved by Ministry of Agriculture. These two subsystems produced 1176.44 t/year, while the volume self-consumed was estimated to be 1854t/year. Such, the market potential for camel milk could be highly developed in the future.
