Oman Flour Mills (OFM), one of the largest integrated food companies in the Sultanate of Oman, has launched a series of strategic projects, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening food security while expanding its global footprint. These initiatives form part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at securing strategic grain reserves, diversifying procurement sources, and enhancing food product quality.
As part of its ambitious strategy to enhance global competitiveness, OFM has undertaken a series of strategic investments, from establishing Oman-Australia Limited, which works directly with farmers, to launching the Atyab International Services (AIS) in Uzbekistan for import quality control. These initiatives reflect the company’s vision to strengthen its international presence, support the national economy, and meet growing market demands.
Oman-Australia Limited, operating in Australia, collaborates directly with farmers to secure wheat shipments, reinforcing Oman’s strategic grain reserves and providing a competitive edge in international markets. This initiative aims to ensure sustainable and reliable food resources by diversifying procurement sources and streamlining supply chains. Additionally, OFM continues to invest in strategic assets across the grain value chain, ensuring competitive pricing and supply stability for Oman.
In a key step towards achieving its strategic goals, OFM inaugurated the AIS in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This facility brings OFM’s expertise in food industry laboratory services to regional and international markets. The lab is dedicated to monitoring the quality of imports and food products, reinforcing consumer trust in food safety standards both locally and globally. Furthermore, the laboratory supports exporters in Uzbekistan’s food processing industry, enhancing their access to European, American, and Asian markets. Notably, AIS is the first of its kind by an Omani company in Central Asia and has achieved ISO 17025 accreditation in a remarkably short period, reflecting its commitment to upholding the highest global quality standards.
OFM continues to expand its investment portfolio, focusing on integration across the food value chain. Key initiatives include the acquisition of a feed mill and integration of frozen bakery operations, aligning with the company’s broader expansion strategy. The company is also conducting a market assessment for baby food products in Uzbekistan, alongside importing and cultivating millet seeds. Additionally, OFM is advancing a joint farming proposal aimed at improving agricultural productivity.
As part of its regional expansion plans, OFM is actively exploring opportunities to expand bakery operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia while developing strategic industrial clusters to improve efficiency and foster innovation. These initiatives underscore OFM’s commitment to strengthening the national economy and ensuring food security. Meanwhile, the company has successfully acquired Sohar Beach Bakery and the Omani Bioproducts Company, further enhancing operational efficiency and integration across its supply chain.
