Integrated livestock farming and meat production project launched in Al Suwaiq
MUSCAT: Seeking to contribute to food security goals in North Al Batinah Governorate, Omani entrepreneur Hamood Al Mahrazi has launched an integrated livestock farm and meat production facility in the Wilayat of Al Suwaiq aimed at producing premium-quality meat from a mix of local and international livestock breeds.
The venture, which employs advanced farming technologies, is supported by a farm with a capacity of 1,250 head of livestock annually. The facility blends Omani traditions with global expertise to ensure high standards in animal care, hygiene, and meat quality.
'Our project combines Omani authenticity with global expertise,' said Hamood al-Mahrazi, owner of the initiative. 'We rely on the latest technologies to ensure meat quality and safety, contributing to the sustainability of Oman's agricultural sector.'
The project is expected to help meet growing domestic demand and reduce reliance on meat imports, aligning with national goals under Oman Vision 2040.
'The expected production capacity will reach 1,250 head annually,' Al-Mahrazi added. 'This reflects our commitment to fulfilling local demand and boosting the supply of high-quality meat.'
The farm incorporates modern technologies across all stages of the process, including advanced feeding systems, specialised veterinary care, and state-of-the-art meat processing facilities.
The project is part of an ongoing drive by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources aimed at fostering entrepreneurial opportunities for Omanis in the fields of crop and livestock farming and meat production, among other related sectors, across the Sultanate of Oman.
