Al-Watan Views on Food Security System
The article focuses on the importance of food security as a fundamental component of economic and social stability. It highlights growth and diversity in agricultural, livestock, and fisheries production in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate, where in 2026, 46 investment opportunities were introduced, valued at nearly 74.3 million Omani Rials across an area of over 431 acres. This development aims to meet domestic demand and reduce reliance on external markets. The sector demonstrated a 6% growth in production during 2025, with a 9% increase in the value of agricultural activities. Self-sufficiency rates exceeded 100% for products such as cucumbers (475%), dates (256.2%), table eggs (218%), and honey (136.7%). Integrating technology and efficiently managing resources like water and land are key pillars for developing a sustainable food production system that includes farms, factories, and markets. This approach ensures that increased productivity translates into sustainable economic value, while governance and rural development efforts guarantee access to sufficient, high-quality food at affordable prices.
