Oman is expected to complete work on the Gulf’s largest “table egg” facility in the next two years, which will have an annual capacity of 2,300mn eggs, according to a news report. The facility is joint venture between Oman Flour Mills Company, Gulf Japan Food Fund, UAE’s IFFCO group and Japan’s Ise Foods. The first phase will cost $40 million, Ali Habaj, chief executive officer, Oman Flour Mills Company, said in an interview. Currently, 45 percent of the country’s requirement for eggs is met through imports, but with the new facility Oman will be exporting eggs, the newspaper said. (Arabian Business/times of Oman)
