New Olive Oil Press Opens in Jebel Al Akhdar
A modern olive oil mill has been inaugurated in the Al Jabal Al Akhdar governorate, in the Wilayat of Al Dakhiliyah, with an investment of approximately 40,000 Omani riyals. The aim is to support farmers and improve the quality of the local product. The mill has a capacity to process up to 1.2 tons of olives per hour and is designed to serve around 500 farmers from nearby areas. Additionally, it provides 15 seasonal job opportunities. The mill relies on advanced technologies to preserve the natural properties of the oil and processes about 70 tons of olives in the current season. This comes at a time when the olive sector is experiencing significant growth, with approximately 20,000 trees spread over 80 acres, and an annual production reaching 600 tons of fruit, from which about 90,000 liters of oil are extracted. This reflects the increasing economic importance of this sector as part of efforts to enhance food security in the region.
