Fisheries
The government has invested more than USD $800 million in 35 fisheries related ventures, and USD $135 million more in 92 integrated agriculture and fisheries schemes, accelerating the fast growth of one of the country’s most prosperous and high-potential investment sectors.
A new cold store facility at Muscat airport, developed in partnership with Singapore, is helping grow export demand – with lucrative European and Asian markets no more than a 7 hour flight away. Indeed, cold storage presents an enormous opportunity across the whole of Oman - with ever increasing demand from manufacturers to maximize the amount of produce that can be exported to the GCC and further afield.
Agro
With its place firmly secured on the world map as a regional gateway for trade and investment - and an unrivalled regional distribution network with access to more than 400 million people - Oman is fast becoming a hot topic amongst agricultural investors, realising Omani food manufacturing business ideas and increasingly competing with food manufacturing companies in the UAE.
Supported by the Government of Oman, around 160 private-sector agricultural, livestock and other agro projects - worth an estimated USD$2 billion - are underway to realise the country’s potential as a thriving regional agriculture hub.
