Muscat: The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates “Madayn”, successfully wrapped up its participation in Gulfood 2025, one of the world’s leading food and beverage events held in Dubai.
The Sultanate of Oman’s pavilion attracted an impressive turnout from global decision-makers, investors, producers, and industry stakeholders, all keen to explore the diverse range of showcased high-quality Omani products. The exhibition presented an ideal platform to highlight Oman’s thriving food industry and the lucrative investment opportunities
available in Madayn’s industrial cities.
Hamood al Balushi, Assistant Director General of Al Suwaiq Industrial City, affirmed that the exceptional quality of Omani products showcased at Gulfood has strengthened
their market reputation, paving the way for companies to secure new export contracts, distribution partnerships, and business agreements related to financing and packaging
development.
Al Suwaiq Industrial City
The exhibition provided an excellent opportunity to promote investment opportunities in the food sector across all industrial cities under Madayn, with a special focus on Al
Suwaiq Industrial City,” Al Balushi said, adding: “Al Suwaiq Industrial City will officially begin accepting investment applications next week. The food sector is one of the key
targeted sectors for this industrial city, given its strategic location between local and regional markets. Its proximity to the Sea of Oman and Port Suwaiq enhances its
connectivity, which will add significant value to the industrial city by leveraging the Sultanate’s maritime transport and logistics,” he added.
He further noted that Madayn had previously awarded the consultancy services tender for the design and supervision of Al Suwaiq Industrial City’s establishment. The selected
company has already commenced the implementation of the project, and work is underway to prepare and finalize the tender for Phase 1 construction, which will be
announced to contractors in the coming period.
It is worthwhile to mention that Madayn, in cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and
the SMEs Development Authority, expanded its participation at Gulfood 2025 to ensure a broader representation of Omani companies and factories. Notably, this year’s
Sultanate of Oman’s Pavilion at Gulfood featured dedicated free spaces for SMEs to engage with international buyers and showcase their products, reinforcing the crucial
role SMEs play in strengthening the Sultanate’s national economy.
With over 5,500 exhibitors from around the globe seeking partnerships, the Gulfood event provides unparalleled exposure opportunities for Omani companies. Through its
participation, Madayn aims to support the strategic objectives of the national ‘Made in Oman’ campaign, which focuses on promoting Omani products globally, expanding into
new markets, and diversifying consumer segments at both regional and international levels.
