Omani industries forge strategic partnerships at Gulfood 2024

Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman, represented by the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn), successfully concluded its participation at Gulfood 2024 in Dubai, UAE. Food industry leaders, investors and producers showed keen interest in the diverse range of Omani products showcased at the Sultanate of Oman’s pavilion.

Hamood Al Balushi, Assistant Director General at Madayn, emphasised that the remarkable turnout for Omani products at Gulfood, which exceeded expectations this year, underscores their exceptional quality and reputation both regionally and internationally. “This year’s participation has enabled Omani industries to receive more export requests, sign commercial deals, renew existing ones, and explore entry into new markets,” Al Balushi pointed out.

Al Balushi further stated, “This year, Madayn, in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion and Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, worked towards expanding participation by enabling more Omani companies and factories to join the exhibition. Additionally, the Sultanate’s pavilion provided free spaces for the SMEs to interact with exhibition visitors and showcase their products, recognising their significant contribution to the local economy.”

Al Balushi also emphasised on the keen interest expressed by global investors and business owners in setting up or expanding existing businesses in the Sultanate’s industrial cities. The
