Food Security Lab yields 100 agreements

MUSCAT: More than 100 usufruct agreements were signed in Muscat on Tuesday for projects worth over RO 77 million across the governorates of the Sultanate of Oman, covering a total area of 9,000 acres. The signing ceremony was held under the auspices of Eng Hamad bin Ali al Nazwani, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning for Housing.
The agreements, an outcome of the Food Security Lab 2026, aim to boost food production and enhance economic sustainability in Oman, reflecting national efforts to consolidate the food security system.
The projects align with the strategic objective of optimising the use of land designated for farming and food-related activities and expanding the local production base of food commodities. The approach supports the goals of Oman Vision 2040 on achieving food security, fostering economic diversification and attracting high-quality investment to the governorates. — ONA
