Falcon Breeders Auction Sets Sales Record, Solidifying Role as Cultural and Economic Hub
The International Falcon Breeders Auction has become a key annual event on the calendar of specialized activities since its launch, serving as one of the world's largest platforms for the exchange of elite falcon breeds.
The auction is part of a series of annual events organized by the Saudi Falcons Club, which has established itself as a global hub bringing together top falcon breeding farms from the Kingdom and abroad. The auction is considered one of the leading auctions in the region and the world, distinguished by its showcase of elite falcon breeds and strong attendance by falconers, investors, experts, and enthusiasts.
Each year, the auction sees sales that reflect the rapid growth of the market and rising demand for falcons bred in local and international farms. This underscores the sector's increasing economic value and its evolution into a specialized industry with economic, cultural, and investment dimensions.
In 2021, the auction recorded a historic sale—the highest in its history—when a falcon bred by the US-based Pacific Northwest Falcons farm was sold for SAR1.75 million, highlighting the growing value of this promising sector.
The 2025 edition of the auction will run from August 5 to 25, with expectations of increased participation from leading international breeding farms alongside broad involvement from local farms. The event is set to boost competition, open new avenues for trade and knowledge exchange, and offer an ideal environment for falconers and breeders to explore the latest breeding and production methods, as well as developments in falcon breeds and training techniques.
Through its high-value sales and specialized events, the auction reinforces its status as an economically influential platform, reflecting the community's deep-rooted passion for falcons and aligning with industry developments locally and globally.
As the 2025 edition approaches, falconers worldwide anticipate notable deals and valuable participation, underscoring the sector's steady growth and drive toward expansion and innovation.
