Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Oman's milk market volume followed a growth path, rising from 388 thousand tons to a peak of 467 thousand tons in 2022, before receding to 437 thousand tons in 2023. The most substantial expansion occurred in 2020, when the market volume surged by over 50 thousand tons to reach 443 thousand tons.

This movement was anchored by a strong and consistent rise in domestic milk production, which increased from 230 thousand tons to 376 thousand tons over the period. The growth in production initially coincided with higher imports, but after 2020, imports entered a steady decline, falling from 240 thousand tons to 160 thousand tons. Simultaneously, milk exports expanded significantly, particularly in 2020, which tempered the net volume of milk available for domestic consumption in subsequent years.
