By Zainab Al Nasseri MUSCAT: Dec. 20: The largest table-egg farm in the Sultanate will come up in Ibri, Governorate of Al Dhahirah. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed on Tuesday for setting up the farm in two phases at a total cost of $40 million. It is expected to produce 360 million eggs every year. The pact was signed between officials from Oman Flour Mills Company (OFM), Gulf Japan Food Fund (GJFF), IFFCO Group and Japan’s Ise Foods. The decision to establish the farm is in response to a high demand for protein-rich eggs in the GCC.
