On an exclusive mission to meet potential Omani businessmen, an expert business delegation, specialising in construction and building materials from Thailand is scheduled to visit Oman from June 17-19.
Organised by the Ministry of Commerce, the delegation is the second official trade delegation to visit Oman this year.
Jointly organised by Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI), in association with Thai Trade Center in Dubai and the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, this exclusive business-to-business (B2B) meet, comprising 12 select Thai companies, will conduct business matching with prospective Omani companies at the premises of the OCCI in Al Batinah Hall between 9am and 12pm today, according a press release.
This B2B event is all slated to offer Oman's major importers, an excellent opportunity to meet and explore diverse business prospects with Thai manufacturers and exporters of a variety of high-quality construction and building material products including furniture, industrial air conditioners, kitchen and bathroom accessories, floor and wall decoration as well as multi-purpose engine. Thai construction and building material products are known for their quality and affordability.
As the sixth most important trading partner with Thailand in the Middle East, Oman in 2018 has successfully established a two-way trade partnership with Thailand, clocking a record increase of 16.44 per cent with a value of US$765mn. Thailand's exports to Oman during the period increased to 8.79 per cent valuing at US$563.74mn. This year, from January to April, Thailand exports have crossed US$132.32mn.
Construction materials and related products are amongst the most preferred and in high-demand items, Thailand exports to Oman, which is primarily due to its high quality, excellent design and reasonable pricing structure.
'In the recent years, the sultanate's imports from Thailand have been on the rise. Construction and building material products are significant due to the increasing preference for Thai products among Omani importers,' said Panot Punyahotra, the director of Thai Trade Center in Dubai.
