Oman's agriculture and fisheries sector recorded a 6.1% growth during the first quarter of 2026, underscoring the sector's expanding contribution to the Sultanate's economic diversification and food security objectives.
The strong performance reflects continued investments in sustainable farming, modern irrigation systems, fisheries development, aquaculture, and value-added food production. Government initiatives aimed at increasing productivity, supporting local farmers and fishermen, and strengthening domestic food supply chains continue to drive positive momentum across the sector.
The growth aligns with Oman Vision 2040, which places significant emphasis on food security, sustainable resource management, rural development, and reducing dependence on imports. By leveraging innovation, smart agriculture, and marine resource management, Oman is building a more resilient and competitive agricultural economy.
As demand for sustainable food production rises globally, Oman's expanding agriculture and fisheries sector is well-positioned to support economic growth, create employment opportunities, and enhance the country's long-term environmental sustainability.
