About Al Arabia
Al Arabia is one of two frozen meat brands sold by National Food Company, which has supplied Qatar for more than twenty years with chicken nuggets, burgers, kofta and similar prepared products. Zad Holding's 2025 accounts put the group's effective shareholding in National Food Company at 99 per cent rather than the full 100 per cent it holds in most of its subsidiaries, so the brand is not quite wholly owned.
