Canned tuna value projected at 44.4M Omani riyals in 2025
Oman will implement a ban on the fishing, possession, and trade of kingfish starting August 15, 2026, until October 15, in order to protect and sustain the fish stock. This measure comes as a response to the 2025 production, which reached approximately 19,743 tons with a total value of 44.422 million Omani rials, at an average price of 2.25 rials per kilogram. More than 83% of the total production is concentrated in the Central and South Eastern Governorates, each accounting for about 41.7% of the overall catch. The ban aims to regulate fishing seasons, protect kingfish during their breeding periods, and enhance monitoring and compliance with regulations, to ensure the sustainability of this resource and support the fishing economy for future generations.
