Massive Financial Influx Positions Sultanate as a Global Hub for Premium Seafood and Marine Cultivation

MUSCAT — The Sultanate of Oman is cementing its status as a rising powerhouse in the global "blue economy," as investments in the aquaculture sector hit a staggering $906.5 million (RO 349 million) by the close of 2025. This financial surge, driven by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources, marks a pivotal shift in the nation's strategy to diversify its economy and bolster food security through high-value marine production.

The momentum shows no signs of slowing. Recent data reveals that new investment agreements exceeding $129.9 million (RO 50 million) have already been signed. These projects are slated to inject an additional 15,000 tonnes of annual capacity into the market, with a primary focus on high-demand exports such as shrimp and marine fish.

Scaling the Depths: Production and Diversification

By the end of 2025, Oman's total aquaculture output reached approximately 9,240 tonnes. The bulk of this—7,970 tonnes—stemmed from large-scale commercial farming, while 605 tonnes were produced through integrated farming systems that maximize resource efficiency.

 

While traditional fishing remains vital, the government is steering the industry toward a more sophisticated, integrated system. Beyond staple finfish, the sector is aggressively diversifying into:

  • Shrimp and Marine Fish

  • Oysters and Abalone

  • Seaweed and Algae

Dr. Abdul Aziz bin Said Al Marzouqi, Director General of Fisheries Resources Development, characterized this era as a "qualitative transformation." Speaking to the Oman News Agency, Dr. Al Marzouqi emphasized the sector's evolving landscape:

"The aquaculture sector is undergoing a qualitative transformation driven by investment expansion and improved productivity, enhancing its contribution to the national economy. Production is becoming more diversified, covering shrimp, marine fish, oysters, abalone, seaweed, and algae, as part of efforts to build an integrated aquaculture system."

The Road to 252,000 Tonnes

The current growth is merely the foundation for a much loftier ambition. Under its long-term sustainability and expansion roadmap, Oman has set its sights on reaching an annual production capacity of 252,000 tonnes by 2030.

By leveraging its extensive coastline and utilizing modern "integrated aquaculture models"—which combine fish farming with other aquatic systems—Oman is turning the tide on food imports. Dr. Al Marzouqi affirmed that the sector is fast becoming a "promising pillar" of the national economy, fueled by an investor confidence that continues to scale alongside the country's production facilities.

オマーンの海洋革命、2030年の目標に向けて急加速

大規模な資金流入により、スルタン国はプレミアム・シーフードと海洋養殖の世界的拠点としての地位を確立

マスカット、オマーンオマーン王國は、2025年末までに養殖部門への投資額が9億650万ドル3億4,900万オマーン・リアル)という驚異的な数字に達し、世界の「ブルー・エコノミー」における新興勢力としての地位を固めています。農業・漁業・水資源省が主導するこの投資の急増は、高付加価値の海洋生産を通じて経済を多様化し、食料安全保障を強化するという国家戦略の極めて重要な転換を意味しています。

この勢いが衰える兆しはありません。最近のデータによると、すでに1億2,990万ドル5,000万オマーン・リアル)を超える新しい投資契約が締結されています。これらのプロジェクトにより、年間生産能力にさらに15,000トンが追加される予定であり、主にエビ海水魚などの需要の高い輸出製品に焦点が当てられています。

深層への拡大:生産と多様化

2025年末までに、オマーンの養殖総生産量は約9,240トンに達しました。その大部分である7,970トンは大規模な商業養殖によるものであり、605トンは資源効率を最大化する統合型養殖システムを通じて生産されました。

伝統的な漁業も引き続き重要ですが、政府は産業をより洗練された統合システムへと導いています。主要な食用魚以外にも、この部門は以下の分野へと積極的に多様化を進めています:

  • エビおよび海水魚

  • カキおよびアワビ

  • 海藻および藻類

漁業資源開発局長アブドゥル・アジズ・ビン・サイード・アル・マルズーキ博士は、この時代を「質的な転換」と表現しました。オマーン通信社の取材に対し、アル・マルズーキ博士は進化する部門の状況を強調しました:

「養殖部門は、投資の拡大と生産性の向上に牽引され、国家経済への貢献を強化する質的な転換を遂げています。生産はエビ、海水魚、カキ、アワビ、海藻、藻類へと多様化しており、統合された養殖システムの構築に向けた取り組みの一環となっています。」

252,000トンへの道

現在の成長は、さらに高い野心に向けた基礎に過ぎません。長期的な拡大と持続可能性のロードマップの下、オマーン2030年までに年間生産能力を252,000トンに引き上げることを目指しています。

広大な海岸線を活用し、魚の養殖と他の水生システムを組み合わせた最新の「統合型養殖モデル」を利用することで、オマーンは食料輸入の潮流を変えようとしています。アル・マルズーキ博士は、この部門が投資の勢いに支えられ、国の生産施設とともに拡大し続ける「国家経済の有望な柱」になりつつあると断言しました。

阿曼海洋革命全力冲刺2030年目标

巨额资金注入使苏丹国定位为优质海鮮与海洋养殖的全球枢纽

马斯喀特,阿曼阿曼苏丹国正巩固其在全球“蓝色经济”中作为新兴强国的地位,截至2025年底,养殖业的投资额达到了惊人的9.065亿美元3.49亿阿曼里亚尔)。这一由农业、渔业和水资源部推动的资金激增,标志着该国通过高价值海洋生产实现经济多元化和加强粮食安全战略的重大转变。

这一势头并无放缓迹象。近期数据显示,已签署了总额超过1.299亿美元5,000万阿曼里亚尔)的新投资协议。这些项目预计将使年生产能力再增加15,000吨,重点针对类和海水鱼等高需求出口产品。

向深海扩展:生产与多元化

截至2025年底,阿曼的养殖总产量达到约9,240吨。其中大部分——7,970吨——源自大规模商业养殖,而605吨则是通过资源效率最大化的综合养殖系统生产的。

虽然传统渔业依然至关重要,但政府正引导该行业向更精密、综合的系统发展。除了主要食用鱼类外,该部门正积极向以下领域实现多元化:

  • 类及海水鱼

  • 牡蛎鲍鱼

  • 海带藻类

渔业资源开发总局局长阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹·本·赛义德·马尔祖基博士将这一时期描述为“质的转型”。在接受阿曼通讯社采访时,马尔祖基博士强调了该行业不断演变的格局:

“养殖业正在经历一场由投资扩张和生产力提高驱动的质的转型,增强了其对国民经济的贡献。生产正趋于多元化,涵盖了虾、海水鱼、牡蛎、鲍鱼、海带和藻类,作为构建综合养殖体系努力的一部分。”

通往252,000吨之路

目前的增长仅仅是实现更宏伟目标的基石。根据长期扩张与可持续发展路线图,阿曼的目标是到2030年将年生产能力提高到约252,000吨

通过利用其漫长的海岸线并采用现代化的“综合养殖模式”(将鱼类养殖与其他水生系统结合),阿曼正在扭转粮食进口的趋势。马尔祖基博士确认,该行业正迅速成为国民经济中“充满前景的支柱”,在投资势头的推动下,其规模将随国家的生产设施一同扩大。
