Oman’s A’Saffa Foods to increase broiler chicken production with Q3 expansion
Company reports lower revenue but stronger profits in 2025
OMAN – A’Saffa Foods is set to raise its annual broiler chicken production capacity from 48 million birds to 60 million, with the expansion expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.
The increase, roughly 25%, follows board approval in December 2024 and is underway at the fully integrated Thamrait facility in Dhofar Governorate.
Company officials said the project combines additional production capacity with upgrades to existing facilities to improve efficiency and meet anticipated demand from Oman and neighbouring markets.
A’Saffa Foods operated at full capacity in 2025, recording parent company revenues of RO 58.23 million (US$151.4 million), down 8.52% from RO 63.66 million (US$165.5 million) in 2024.
At the group level, revenues fell 8.93% to RO 57.05 million (US$148.3 million) from RO 62.64 million (US$162.9 million) a year earlier, reflecting market pressures and production constraints.
Despite lower revenue, profitability improved, with parent company gross profit rising 8.78% to RO 16.77 million (US$43.6 million) from RO 15.42 million (US$40.1 million) in 2024.
Group gross profit also increased 8.60% to RO 17.92 million (US$46.6 million), while net profit for the parent company grew 12.73% to RO 6.45 million (US$16.8 million), and group net profit climbed 21.46% to RO 7.17 million (US$18.6 million).
Chairman Eng Ali bin Hilal al Kuwari stated in the 2025 Directors’ Report that the expansion aims to help the company meet rising demand and maintain a competitive position within Oman’s poultry sector.
The project supports national objectives to enhance local food production and reduce reliance on imports in the poultry and broader agriculture sectors.
