ARMENIA – High-level Armenian officials have met with representatives of Oman’s KV Group to negotiate the export of fresh agricultural products to the Middle East, as Armenia actively seeks to diversify its international trade markets.
Deputy Ministers of Economy Arman Khojoyan and Anushik Avetyan met representatives of the Omani company KV Group to discuss the supply of fresh fruit and vegetables from Armenia to Oman.
According to Armenia’s Ministry of Economy, the meeting focused on opportunities to expand trade between the two countries. Khojoyan presented the government’s export support measures and outlined the country’s production capacity in intensive orchards and greenhouse horticulture.
Furthermore, Armenia’s expanding greenhouse and orchard production capacity makes it an attractive partner for Oman. The country has invested heavily in modern greenhouse facilities and intensive orchard systems, enabling year-round production of high-quality fresh produce.
Additionally, the government has implemented export support measures, including logistics assistance and trade facilitation, to help Armenian producers access new international markets. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to reduce dependence on traditional trading partners and build resilience through market diversification.
KV Group representatives expressed interest in importing fresh Armenian fruit and vegetables. During their visit, they are scheduled to tour orchards and greenhouse operations to assess production and export capacity.
The Omani delegation plans to conduct site visits to various farming facilities to evaluate quality, production standards, and logistics capabilities. This assessment will determine whether Armenian produce meets Oman’s import requirements and consumer preferences.
The meeting comes as Armenia seeks to diversify its export markets. Both parties committed to ongoing business-to-business networking and consistent information sharing to strengthen their commercial ties. This diplomatic initiative aims to establish a reliable pipeline for Armenian produce to reach consumers in Oman.
Through these strategic efforts, Armenia aims to strengthen its economic standing by fostering long-term agricultural collaboration. Successful implementation of this partnership could reshape trade between Armenia and Oman by establishing a stable export channel for Armenian fruits and vegetables and meeting Oman’s demand for high-quality fresh produce.
The government continues to support export expansion through policy measures, infrastructure development, and international trade negotiations.
In the end, the outcome of the Omani delegation’s site visits will determine the next steps in this emerging trade relationship.
