Armenia began exporting a variety of fresh fruits to Oman in July 2026, marking a new trade relationship between the two nations. This expansion includes shipments of apricots, cherries, and berries available at major Omani retail outlets like Lulu hypermarkets.
Why it matters
New trade agreements allow Omani consumers wider access to fresh produce from Armenia, helping broaden the region's fruit supply chain. These commercial ties follow the opening of an Armenian embassy in Oman earlier this year.
Official export records confirm the commencement of trade for five fruit varieties in 2026, following two documented delegation visits. While fruit availability has expanded, total export volumes remain under evaluation as the partnership grows.
The players
Funfrut
An Armenian agricultural company specializing in the production and export of fresh fruits.
RockBerry

KV Group
An Omani trade organization that coordinates the importation and retail distribution of agricultural products.
Rosselkhoznadzor

The details
The export initiative relies on supply agreements signed between the Armenian companies Funfrut and RockBerry and the Omani-based KV Group. Produce such as peaches, nectarines, and strawberries are now distributed through the Lulu and Suhol Al-Fayha supermarket chains. This effort coordinates logistical paths to move perishable agricultural goods from Armenian orchards to international retail shelves.
