A Flourishing Rose Industry

In the picturesque region of Jebel Akhdar in Oman, a sustainable rose industry is blooming. With more than 20 tons of rose production during the current season, this region has become a hub for rose cultivation and processing, showcasing the beauty and economic potential of this fragrant flower. The thriving rose industry is significantly contributing to the local economy and agricultural sector.

Support from the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority

The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority, through the Business and Incubators Center in Jebel Akhdar, plays a crucial role in supporting artisans and entrepreneurs in the region. By organizing training workshops in various fields such as the production of rose water and essential oils, the center empowers individuals to explore the diverse applications of roses beyond their aesthetic appeal.

A Symbol of Commitment: The Rose Farm

The Business and Incubators Center boasts a rose farm with over 2,700 trees of different varieties, symbolizing the region’s commitment to nurturing this flourishing industry. Collaborating with relevant stakeholders, the center has facilitated business opportunities that align with current economic trends, both locally and internationally.
