Active efforts are underway to expand the range of products exported from Armenia to Oman, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan announced.
Cooperation has been established between several Armenian and Omani companies.
Armenia’s embassy in Oman officially opened in March 2026. Before the diplomatic mission was established, trade turnover between Armenia and Oman had been extremely limited. As a result of newly established business ties, apricots, sweet cherries, peaches, nectarines and strawberries were exported from Armenia to Oman in 2026, particularly between July and September.
This marked the first introduction of Armenian agricultural products to the Omani market. Although initial exports were limited to small trial shipments, these deliveries laid the groundwork for further cooperation.
Fruit exported from Armenia was offered for sale at Lulu hypermarkets, one of Oman’s largest retail chains, as well as at the Suhol Al-Fayha supermarket chain, owned by the KV Group of companies.
“At the same time, efforts are underway to increase export volumes, expand the product range and establish long-term cooperation. Initial results have already been achieved in this area: Armenian companies Funfrut and RockBerry have signed agreements with KV Group for the supply of even larger quantities of Armenian fruit and berries. There are also plans to diversify the range of fruit by introducing Armenian-grown grapes, apples and other products.
“With the assistance of the Armenian Embassy, a senior delegation from KV Group has already visited Armenia twice, in July and October 2026. During these visits, bilateral meetings were held with representatives of Armenian government agencies and the private sector. During its second visit, the delegation also participated in the International Trade and Investment Forum held in Yerevan.
“The forum was also attended by a delegation from Oman’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources, as well as representatives of several private companies. This demonstrates growing interest among Omani businesses in Armenian products,” the statement said.
The statement also noted that the increasing momentum of exports to Oman is accompanied by a trend toward expanding exports to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) imposed temporary restrictions on imports of cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines and grapes from Armenia starting June 2. Earlier, restrictions had also been introduced on several vegetable crops exported from Armenia. Russia has additionally banned imports of Armenian Jermuk mineral water, flowers, fish products and certain alcoholic beverages.
