Oman has adopted new national standards for frankincense products, reinforcing the Sultanate's commitment to quality, authenticity, and international competitiveness. The initiative is designed to ensure that Omani frankincense products meet globally recognized quality benchmarks while protecting one of the country's most treasured natural resources.
The new standards cover product specifications, quality control, testing procedures, labeling, packaging, and compliance requirements. By establishing a unified framework, Oman aims to strengthen consumer confidence, support exporters, and expand access to premium international markets.
Often referred to as "liquid gold" of the region, Omani frankincense has been valued for centuries for its use in wellness, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and traditional medicine. The updated standards are expected to enhance the global reputation of Oman's frankincense industry while creating new opportunities for local producers and exporters.
