Agricultural products in the country and those exported to Oman come from sources registered with the concerned regulatory
Oman’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources (MAFWR) has confirmed the safety of all imported agricultural products. It denied rumours of Oman is stopping agricultural shipments from one country in the region.
A statement issued by MAFWR said, ‘The ministry would like to clarify regarding what is being circulated in social media about Oman stopping imports of agricultural products from a country. This information is incorrect and all imports of agricultural products from all countries are subject to examination and analysis according to a food control programme of the competent authority in the ministry.’
A team from the Centre for Food Safety and Quality and the Agricultural Quarantine Department visited the country at its request to find out about aspects of export regulations there. ‘The team confirmed that agricultural products in the country and those exported to Oman come from sources registered with the concerned regulatory authorities and farms are monitored to ensure correct agricultural practices.’
