"We are happy to announce a significant growth in exports of Omani origin products during 2006," Aiman Ambusaidi, Ociped's Director of Export Development, said.
Shipments of such goods fetched the country RO812.3 million, compared with RO555.3 million in 2005, up 46.3 per cent.
Since 2001, the first year of the Sixth Five Year Plan, when non-oil Omani origin exports totalled RO265.8 million, shipments have grown at a compounded annual rate of 20.2 per cent.
"The performance has been in line with the export strategy adopted by Ociped, which has identified thrust products and target markets for the short term (2001 - 2005) medium term (2006 - 2010) and long term (2011 - 2020)," Ambusaidi noted.
Some of the steps taken by the centre, he said, included conducting market studies in target markets, establishing a trade information database, titled 'Oman TradeMap', in association with the International Trade Centre (ITC), Geneva.
Ociped also published a 'Trade Secrets Document of Sultanate of Oman', again in association with (ITC),Geneva, featuring 148 most frequently asked questions regarding exports, and launched the 'Oman Productmap', a user friendly trade information portal covering 72 sectors.
