Introduction Multiple estimates suggest the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) may have one of the highest rates of wasted food globally.
The KSA has limited arable lands and scarce water and thus relies on extensive imports and food subsidies to meet food demand.
Accordingly, waste and loss of food are a significant concern for food security.
Materials and methods A narrative literature review was performed to identify the available information relevant to characterizing the context, magnitude of food wasted in the KSA, key contributing factors, and existing interventions and recommendations.
Results Estimates of annual per capita waste of food ranged from 165 kg to 511 kg.
Given the country's relatively limited agricultural production, the consumer and retail levels are primary targets for intervention.
Key contributors to waste include culture, food valuation, policy and industry factors, and awareness and concern.
The country is at an early stage of developing responses.
We build upon existing approaches and recommendations, with particular emphasis on the potential role of agricultural extension staff in addressing the issue, and highlight research needs.
Conclusions Given the potentially exceptional levels of wasted food in the KSA and the extensive evidence gaps, there is a great need for further research and action.
Our review and synthesis presents numerous opportunities to advance innovative waste reduction approaches in the country, with particular relevance for other parts of the Middle East and other areas early in their efforts to address waste of food.
