JBS Builds $150M Halal Protein Hub in Oma
JBS Invests $150M in Oman to Build Multi-Protein Export Hub
Brazil-based meat giant JBS has announced a US$150 million investment to establish a major multi-protein processing hub in Oman. This will be done in partnership with the Oman Investment Authority.
The project will process beef, poultry and lamb, with a reported annual capacity of more than 300,000 tonnes. The facility is positioned as a strategic platform targeting the expanding global halal protein market.
The move aligns with broader Gulf food security strategies. In these strategies, sovereign wealth funds are investing in domestic processing infrastructure to reduce reliance on raw imports and increase value-added capacity.
JBS continues to expand internationally despite tighter global cattle supplies and increasing trade fragmentation. The multi-protein model also provides flexibility across species. This allows processors to pivot between beef, poultry and lamb depending on market margins.
