The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MHUP) in Oman has announced two new investment opportunities for usufruct land in Dhahirah governorate, covering a total of 8 hectares for fruit production.
The opportunities include citrus cultivation on 4 hectares and fig cultivation on another 4 hectares in the Al Buwairda area of Yanqul. According to MHUP, the projects are part of efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector and attract investors to ventures aligned with Oman Vision 2040's economic diversification goals.
Sites were selected based on soil quality, water availability, and market demand to ensure long-term production potential. Details of the opportunities and usufruct terms are available on the Tatweer platform, with applications open to both local and foreign investors. Preference will be given to proposals that incorporate modern irrigation systems, sustainable farming practices, and value-added production aimed at improving competitiveness in local and export markets.
The Ministry of Agricultural, Fisheries and Water Resources, working in cooperation with MHUP and the private sector, is overseeing land allocation and investment planning to support food security and sustainable agricultural growth. Dhahirah has been identified as a promising hub for agricultural expansion due to its fertile land, favourable climate for fruit cultivation, and proximity to regional markets.
