Chairman’s Message
Dear Nitaj team and stakeholders,

It is with great pleasure that I present to you the Annual Report of Nitaj, demonstrating
our achievements and progress during the year 2022. In my capacity as the Chairman
of the Board of Directors of Nitaj, I take great pride in leading an organisation
dedicated to the promotion and development of food security in Oman and achieving
our country's development goals.

In the past year, we not only have devoted ourselves to meeting the local demands for
food but also to the promotion and encouragement of sustainable food production
practices. Despite the challenges we faced during the global pandemic, we have
persisted and achieved significant strides in the mission to establish sustainable food
projects across numerous sectors throughout the Sultanate of Oman. According to
the global Food Security Index for the year 2022, Oman has ranked number (35) in
the world and achieved third place in the Arab world. Our investment capital has
increased to 440 million riyals by the year 2022, and we have established more than
ten projects in different food sectors.

At Nitaj, we recognise that food security goes beyond meeting immediate needs
to safeguarding the long-term viability of our food resources. Therefore, we are
dedicated to fulfilling our part in achieving Oman's 2040 vision. In our projects, we
have been keen to promote sustainable agricultural practices, reduce food waste, and
increase the efficiency of food products to support local food sufficiency. None of our
achievements would have been possible without the unwavering dedication and hard
work shown by Nitaj’s team and stakeholders. The contributions made by Nitaj team
have helped in the realisation of our goals, and our ability in achieving our vision. I am
beyond proud to work alongside this group of brilliant individuals.

We will continue to prioritise sustainability and innovation as we work towards

promoting food security in Oman. We eagerly anticipate another fruitful year at Nitaj,
marked by continued progress toward fulfilling our country's goals.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to Nitaj and our shared mission.

Sincerely,
Tariq Al Amri

 A Glimpse Into Nitaj

We Nurture the Present

With Seeds of Tomorrow

Nitaj is the government arm for promoting food security in

the country, which takes the greatest care and responsibility
for maintaining and sustaining food.

The story of how Nitaj began its journey goes back to 2011
when HM Sultan Qaboos bin Said took personal attention
to this matter and gave the go-ahead to establish a food
investment holding company. As of today, Nitaj established
more than ten projects in various food groups distributed
around Oman, with an investment capital reaching more
than 457M OMR by 2022.

Nitaj mainly aims to fulfill the local demands by producing

the highest food quality while looking out for future
generations’ needs by sustaining the food resources locally
and internationally and contributing to Oman’s 2040 vision
within its field.
