Synopsis (short abstract) Oman’s recent economic growth still depends on hydrocarbon revenue and foreign labour. Sustainable development in the agriculture sector would increase agriculture’s contribution to the gross domestic product and employment, and enable the sector to improve Oman’s trade balance. The objective of the project was thus to support the government in analyzing the existing situation and formulating a sustainable agricultural development and rural development strategy to address the efficient and susta inable use of the scarce natural resources for the improved livelihoods of the Omani people.

    Une stratégie pour l’agriculture durable et le developpement rural à Oman- UTF/OMA/011/OMA 2017

    La croissance économique récente d’Oman dépend toujours des revenus des hydrocarbures et de la main-d'oeuvre étrangère. Le développement durable dans le secteur de l’agriculture augmenterait la contribution de l’agriculture au produit intérieur brut et à l’emploi, et permettrait au secteur d'améliorer la balance commerciale d’Oman. L’objectif du projet était donc d’aider le Gouvernement à analyser la situation existante et à formuler une stratégie de développement agricole et rural durable pour apporter une réponse à l’utilisation efficace et durable des ressources naturelles limitées, et améliorer les moyens de subsistance des populations omanaises.

    Elaboración de una estrategia para la agricultura y el desarrollo rural sostenibles para Omán- UTF/OMA/011/OMA 2017
    Also available in:
    El reciente crecimiento económico de Omán sigue dependiendo de los ingresos del hidrocarbono y de la mano de obra extranjera. El desarrollo sostenible del sector agrícola incrementaría la contribución de la agricultura al producto interno bruto y al empleo, y permitiría que dicho sector mejorara el saldo comercial del país. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del proyecto era prestar apoyo al Gobierno para analizar la situación existente y formular una estrategia para el desarrollo agrícola y rural sosten ible para abordar el uso eficaz y sostenible de los escasos recursos naturales con el fin de mejorar los medios de vida de la población omaní.

    Report of the Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development. Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, 25–26 January 2009 2009

    The Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development, held from 25 to 26 January 2009 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, was organized in view of the growing importance and interest of this aquaculture sub-sector across the region. The workshop focus was on environmental impact assessment and monitoring, and aquaculture licensing for marine aquaculture cage systems and aimed at identifying constraints and shortcomings that requi red to be dealt with to support the development of the cage industry and facilitate investments from the private sector. The document contains a set of suggestions and recommendations with regards to technical and policy requirements needed to support the growth of the aquaculture sector as a whole and more specifically cage fish farming. The report also contains three review documents on marine cage aquaculture in the region, regulation of Norwegian net-cage fish farming, and a review on cage a quaculture licensing procedures prepared as background discussion papers for the workshop. With specific regard to environmental impact assessment (EIA) the discussions held at the workshop clearly indicate that there is a need for the region and individual Commission members to develop an ad hoc EIA format based on the conditions of the local marine environment. A proposed cage aquaculture licence procedure was discussed and proposed at the workshop based on the format developed and adopted by the Sultanate of Oman.
