The wheat harvesting season has officially started in the Al Najd area of Dhofar for the agricultural year 2025/2026. This initiative is guided by the Directorate General of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources within the Dhofar Governorate.

Covering a cultivated area of about 6,408 acres across 51 different farms, forecasts suggest production could reach up to 8,000 tons, signifying consistent growth in the local agriculture sector.
