Khazaen Economic City has formalized a new investment agreement with Sohar Food & Beverage LLC to establish a state-of-the-art beverage manufacturing facility within its dedicated Food City zone. The strategic project spans an area of 15,000 square meters and carries a total investment value of approximately OMR 8 million (USD 20 million).
The facility will focus on the production of carbonated beverages and natural juices, catering to both local and regional markets. This initiative is part of Khazaen’s broader vision to attract high-impact industrial investments that support economic diversification and import substitution in line with Oman Vision 2040.
The agreement was facilitated through the Invest in Oman Lounge, a government-backed investment promotion platform that streamlines approvals and connects investors with key opportunities. The collaboration highlights growing inter-agency synergy and underscores Khazaen’s role as a national hub for food and beverage manufacturing.
In addition to contributing to food security and the growth of the FMCG sector, the project is expected to generate employment opportunities and promote value-added production using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
Khazaen CEO Eng. Kalat Ghulam noted that the agreement is a testament to Khazaen’s appeal as an investment destination:
“We are proud to welcome Sohar Food & Beverage LLC as a partner. This investment reinforces Khazaen’s position as a catalyst for industrial growth and reaffirms our commitment to enabling Oman’s manufacturing ecosystem.”
This latest development marks another milestone in Khazaen’s ongoing efforts to establish a robust industrial base in the food and beverage sector, further enhancing Oman’s standing as a regional production and distribution hub.
