The Sultanate of Oman is quite prominent regarding banana production among the Gulf Cooperative Council countries. Banana cultivation in the Sultanate of Oman occupies the second place after palm trees cultivation. At the level of the Gulf countries, the Sultanate is at the forefront in producing bananas. The Al Batinah and Dhofar governorates contribute most to banana production.
The Ministry of Agricultural Wealth, Fisheries and Water Resources is making great efforts to develop the production of this crop. It has introduced some new varieties for testing and evaluation, and it is expected that it will have a positive impact because of its significant impact on expanding the base of banana genetic resources in the Sultanate.
