The second agreement, with Middle East Livestock Company, involves setting up an automated poultry slaughterhouse and a disinfectants factory, with an investment exceeding RO 750,000 over an area of more than 7,000 sqm.

The agreements were signed by Eng. Saeed bin Khalfan Al Shabibi, Acting Director General of Al Mudhaibi Industrial City, along with Meng Fanhao, CEO of Global Raw Materials Company, and Essam Nasreddin Mustafa, CEO of Middle East Livestock Company. The ceremony was held in the presence of His Excellency Mahmoud bin Yahya Al Dhuhli, Governor of North Al Sharqiyah, and Eng. Dawood Al Hadabi, CEO of Madayn.

Speaking on the occasion, H.E. Sheikh Al Hinai emphasised that Al Mudhaibi Industrial City is strategically located at the heart of North Al Sharqiyah and benefits from proximity to Duqm Economic Zone and other key industrial hubs across the Sultanate. He highlighted that the city is envisioned as a vital center for modern and heavy industries, supported by nearby development projects such as the Sinaw Resources Market.

He noted that the industrial city spans approximately 9 million square meters, with Phase 1 under development on a 3 million square meter area, dedicated to commercial and industrial ventures. The city is expected to play a key role in enhancing industrial growth, creating job opportunities, and attracting quality investments. It also offers competitive incentives, including tax exemptions and renewable 30-year lease contracts, to further position itself as a regional and international economic hub.

Eng. Al Shabibi added that the agreements mark an important milestone in localizing industrial activity within the city. He reaffirmed Madayn’s commitment to supporting investors through a suite of benefits and services, including customized exemptions and streamlined procedures.
He also revealed that the tender for Phase 1 infrastructure — which includes internal roads, utilities (electricity, water, internet, sewage), fencing, gates, and key facilities such as the Madayn Pioneer Complex and Madayn Agricultural Complex — is expected to be awarded in the next quarter of 2025.
