“This new strategic project is scheduled to enter into the operations phase within the next two years, targeting domestic and international markets. The project is a strong addition to Hassad’s three exciting projects, in the agricultural and logistical sectors in Oman,” Hassad said.
Al-Sadah said, “It is our pleasure to invest in this strategic fishery project, as it aims to support the food security efforts in both the countries. Investing in this project is a positive step forward towards achieving our vision to be a successful strategic investor in the global food and agricultural value chains.
“We aim to expand our international investments portfolio, by partnering with internationally reputable companies with successful track record,” al-Sadah concluded.

In 2019, A’Saffa’s yearly production will be doubled to reach 44mn birds per year.
