As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance investment in the agricultural sector, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources, in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, has announced six new investment opportunities in Al Buraimi Governorate.
These opportunities are available through the “Tatweer Platform” and are designed to attract investors while encouraging SMEs to leverage modern agricultural technologies for improved productivity.
The total area allocated for investment spans 29.6 acres, including a key opportunity in Al Zaroub, Wilayat of Mahda, covering 4.6 acres for cultivating green vegetables using advanced agricultural techniques. Additionally, five investment opportunities are designated for SMEs in Safwan, Wilayat of Mahda, each covering five acres for growing vegetables, ginger, onions, potatoes, and seasonal fodder.
The Ministry emphasized that applications must be submitted via the “Tatweer Platform,” which streamlines the process and facilitates investor participation in the sector.
This initiative aligns with the government’s commitment to strengthening food security, supporting SMEs, and enhancing agricultural productivity in Oman.
Nasser bin Ali Al Marshoudi, Director General of Agriculture and Water Resources in Al Buraimi, noted that more than 20 additional investment opportunities in agriculture and livestock will be announced this week across the governorate’s three wilayats. Looking ahead, the Ministry aims to introduce 50 investment opportunities in 2025 in partnership with the Directorate General of Housing and Urban Planning.
