Oman AgroFood

As Oman continues its journey towards achieving food security and agricultural sustainability, its agriculture, food, and fisheries sectors are witnessing dynamic growth. Driven by government initiatives and private sector investments, these sectors play a fundamental role in diversifying the economy, boosting local production, and reducing reliance on imports.

Key Developments in 2024:

• Agriculture: Oman launched several food security initiatives, including the development of agricultural cities and the implementation of advanced farming technologies such as hydroponics and aeroponics.
• Food: The country initiated over 130 food security projects, focusing on increasing local production and achieving self-sufficiency in essential commodities.
• Fisheries: Oman's fisheries sector experienced significant growth, driven by advancements in sustainable aquaculture, improved fish farming techniques, and the strengthening of international trade partnerships.

These developments align with Oman Vision 2040, which aims to enhance food security, develop sustainable resource management, and drive economic diversification through innovation and investment in these key industries.

The Oman Food and Agriculture Exhibition plays a pivotal role in bringing industry leaders, investors, and innovators under one roof to foster progress in these vital sectors. The seventh edition of the Oman Food and Agriculture Exhibition will be held from December 1 to 3, 2025, at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre in Muscat. Under the patronage of the Ministry of Agricultural Wealth, Fisheries and Water Resources, the exhibition serves as a commercial gateway to explore new opportunities, showcase advanced solutions, and foster partnerships that contribute to the nation's long-term sustainability and economic growth.
