Exporters of Seafood world-wide

The Sultanate of Oman has a long coastline, the vast majority of which faces the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. The main economic activity of many coastal communities is fishing, which provides an important supply of fish to local communities, urban areas and for the export markets. Oman is one of the largest fish producers in the region and a net exporter of fish and fish products.

NAFT brings to you the widest variety of high quality seafood products from the Omani waters. With the fish available from wide network of fishermen and from commercial fishing, we have widest range of seafood for you to choose from.

The Sultanate of Oman, which occupies an area of 309 500 km², lies in the extreme southeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It shares borders with the Republic of Yemen Offshore, but within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), there is a zone of up-welling that provides nutrients for oceanic stocks, such as tuna, and mid water (or mesopelagic) fish stocks. Some of the stocks are shared with neighboring countries such as Iran, Pakistan and Yemen. A common strategy for the long-term sustainability of the stock needs to be developed.

Fisheries and agriculture are among the oldest and one of the most important production sectors in the Omani economy. They play a vital part in feeding the population, providing employment for large numbers of Omanis and helping to boost the country’s GDP. Fishing is considered one of the country’s oldest occupations. Capture production comes mainly from marine waters, providing nearly 99.9 % of total fish landing. The quality of the catches has improved, following the creation of the Fisheries Quality Control Center.

Inland production from aquaculture, fish farming in Oman is now a growing industry and is technically supported by the Fish Farming Center.

Marketing operations have been streamlined across the country and exports are now better regulated in terms of handling procedures and food safety, particularly with regard to a number of high valued fish. We have been upgraded and new fishing harbors have been built and equipped with modern facilities. Today there are many fishing harbors along the entire Omani coast.
