In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources, MHUP has introduced 89 new investment opportunities focused on agriculture.

The projects will cover over 9mn sqm of land across various governorates. Seventy agricultural ventures, ten livestock projects, seven water sector initiatives, and two fisheries projects will be implemented under this head, ministry informed, adding that its goal is to enhance Oman’s food, water, and livestock security through the adoption of modern and innovative scientific methods, aligning with the national development strategy for the governorates.

Additionally, MHUP has launched 62 development projects via bidding on the Tatweer platform. These developments include two commercial projects, three commercial-cum-residential areas, and 57 industrial zones, collectively totalling more than 100,000sqm.
