Muscat: The primary driver behind this decrease is Silal’s state-of-the-art infrastructure. Silal’s air-conditioned display hall and refrigerated warehouses provide an ideal environment for preserving product quality. This setup minimizes spoilage and extends the freshness of the goods.

Silal’s facilities, including a 30,000-square-meter air-conditioned wholesale hall and 90 refrigerated warehouses, have been instrumental in managing large quantities of produce efficiently. The market’s logistical prowess ensures swift handling, sorting, and storage, which has been pivotal in achieving the reduced loss rate.

Looking ahead, Silal plans to expand its refrigerated and storage capacities by over 21,000 square meters, boosting its overall capacity to approximately 31,000 tons. This expansion is in response to growing demand from traders and local and international companies.

Strategically located in Khazaen Economic City, Silal benefits from its proximity to major transport routes, including the Al Batinah Expressway, Muscat International Airport, and Suwaiq Port. This location facilitates efficient distribution and rapid delivery to local markets.
