Dhofar Foods & Investment at the Food Safety Exhibition: A Commitment to Food Security
An Important Event for Oman
Dhofar Foods & Investment (DFI), a prominent player in Oman’s food sector, is set to take part in the much-anticipated Food Safety Exhibition from August 10 to 17 in Salalah. This event is organized under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sayyid Marwan bin Turki Al Said, the Governor of Dhofar, and Dr. Saud bin Hamoud Al Habsi, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources. The exhibition is expected to attract various dignitaries and stakeholders dedicated to enhancing food security in the region.
Advancing Towards Self-Sufficiency
As Oman strives to achieve self-sufficiency and sustainable development in alignment with Oman Vision 2040, DFI’s involvement underscores its crucial role in transforming the nation’s food landscape. Rooted in Dhofar, the company boasts a diverse portfolio that includes dairy products, beverages, agriculture, poultry, edible oils, and animal feed, which positions it to lead impactful discussions on food resilience, innovation, and safety.
Celebrating National Heritage
In a bid to engage with the community while promoting national pride, DFI has launched a year-long campaign titled “Rooted in Oman. Nurturing the Future.” Coinciding with Oman’s 54th National Day, the campaign aims to highlight various aspects of culture, sustainability, and health. The Food Safety Exhibition serves as a pivotal moment within this initiative, allowing DFI to connect with the public and advocate for essential themes such as food security and community welfare.
Engaging the Public
DFI will feature an interactive exhibition space designed to be informative and engaging for attendees of all ages. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in product tastings, view educational displays, and attend live demonstrations. This is not just a showcase; it’s a chance for DFI to illustrate how its vertically integrated approach creates value at every stage of the food supply chain—starting from the farm all the way to the consumer.
To further enrich the experience, attendees will be given branded tokens and informational pamphlets that outline DFI’s core products and dedication to ensuring quality, traceability, and nutritional integrity.
Leaders in Food Security
Mr. Vipul Bahl, Acting Chief Executive Officer of DFI, emphasizes the significance of food security as a cornerstone of national development. He notes, "Our participation in the Food Safety Exhibition is not just about being present—it’s about taking the lead. It allows us to demonstrate that our operations align with the long-term goals of the Sultanate, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and consumer health. We’re eager to share our experiences and work together with the community to cultivate a more secure food future for Oman."
Strengthening Dhofar’s Role in Food Production
DFI’s participation also shines a light on the Dhofar Governorate’s rising significance as a strategic center for food production in Oman. By fostering partnerships, investing locally, and employing innovative practices, DFI is not only contributing to local value creation but also creating job opportunities and minimizing import reliance. This reinforces the company’s status as a national leader in food sovereignty.
A Platform for Collaboration
As the exhibition draws high-level officials, media representatives, and industry participants, it presents DFI with a valuable platform to articulate its strategic goals. This opportunity will further solidify DFI’s standing as a trusted partner in Oman’s journey toward economic stability and food resilience.
Through this engagement, DFI continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of food security in Oman, emphasizing its commitment to sustainability and community well-being.
