Oman's food security sector is making a significant contribution to the national economy, generating approximately RO1.56 billion in GDP, with the government targeting further growth by 2030 through increased domestic food production, processing and exports. The 2026 Food Security Lab identified 111 investment projects worth more than RO80 million, supported by 16 implementation initiatives. These form part of a wider pipeline of 376 projects valued at approximately RO899 million across agriculture, livestock, fisheries and water resources. The national food basket covers 25 priority commodities across eight groups, with a focus on improving self-sufficiency in products where domestic production remains below 75%, while expanding food processing and value addition for commodities with higher self-sufficiency levels. Investment opportunities include crop production, aquaculture, commercial fishing and food manufacturing, with three food-processing agreements also signed at Khazaen Economic City. These initiatives demonstrate Oman's commitment to strengthening domestic supply chains, attracting private investment and building a more resilient food system in support of Oman Vision 2040.
