The deal is expected to strengthen JBS’ presence in the Middle East and provide access to new markets in the region. The Oman-based firm, which operates a network of processing facilities and distribution channels across the country, specializes in producing high-quality meat products for local and international customers.

According to industry sources, the agreement marks a significant milestone in JBS’ strategy to grow its presence in emerging markets. The company has been actively expanding its operations in recent years, with a focus on establishing partnerships and investments that align with its long-term growth objectives. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is understood that JBS will assume full responsibility for the operations and management of the Oman-based business, subject to certain conditions. The investment is expected to be financed through a combination of equity and debt, although the exact breakdown was not specified in the agreement. JBS’ acquisition of the Oman-based firm is seen as a strategic move to capitalize on growing demand for high-quality meat products in the Middle East region. With this deal, JBS is poised to strengthen its position in the global food industry and drive long-term growth through expanded operations and increased market presence.
