MUSCAT : The agreements, covering a total area of more than 9,000 acres, were signed in Muscat on Tuesday under the patronage of H.E. Eng. Hamad bin Ali Al Nizwani, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning for Housing.

The projects are part of the initiatives emerging from the Food Security Laboratory and aim to increase domestic food production, attract investment and promote economic sustainability across Oman.

The agreements will facilitate the effective utilisation of land allocated for agricultural and food-related activities while expanding the production of essential food commodities.

The initiative also supports the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, particularly in strengthening food security, diversifying the national economy and attracting quality investments to different governorates.

The projects are expected to improve food supply chains, enhance production efficiency and generate direct and indirect employment opportunities. They will also support local communities and stimulate economic growth in the governorates benefiting from the investments.
