Buraimi – Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources (MAFWR), in collaboration with Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MHUP), has unveiled six new investment opportunities in Buraimi governorate through the Tatwir platform.

This initiative is in line with the government’s broader strategy to strengthen food security, support the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and enhance agricultural production efficiency in Oman.

Nasser bin Ali al Murshudi, Director General of Agriculture and Water Resources in Buraimi, informed that the investment opportunities aim to attract investors and empower SMEs to utilise available agricultural resources through modern technologies.

The investment opportunities cover a total area of 29.6 acres, with a key opportunity in the Al Zaroub area of Mahdha spread over 4.6 acres. This project will focus on cultivation of leafy vegetables using cutting-edge agricultural technologies, thereby promoting sustainable production in the governorate.

Additionally, five investment opportunities have been allocated to SMEs in the Safwan area of Mahdha. Each of these five-acre projects will focus on different agricultural ventures, including cultivation of leafy greens, vegetable, garlic, onions, potatoes and seasonal fodder production.

Applications for these opportunities can be submitted electronically through the Tatwir platform, designed to streamline the process and encourage investment in the agricultural sector.

Murshudi also informed that over 20 additional agricultural investment opportunities focused on both plant and animal production across the governorate will be announced this week. “These efforts aim to enhance food security and create job opportunities through agricultural ventures.”

MAFWR is planning to announce a total of 50 agricultural investment opportunities in 2025 in collaboration with MHUP, as part of the sultanate’s ongoing commitment to sustainable agricultural development.
