01The corridor
Expanding trade horizons.
Muscat sits just north of the Tropic of Cancer. Kampala, just north of the Equator. Between the two lines runs the corridor.
02/03The sea route
A corridor that runs one way, for now.
Across the Arabian Sea to the East African coast, then inland by road and rail. Today the trade runs mostly from Oman to Uganda.
Route shown for illustration.
$5.8M

Fruit and nuts lead, at $3.98M. With the right logistics and cold chain, Ugandan produce could become a staple in Omani markets.
03/03Uganda

04The vision
Oman's plan, Uganda's strengths.
Oman's 11th Five-Year Development Plan (2026 to 2030) puts food security, logistics and the digital economy first. Uganda is a gateway to the East African market, with vast arable land and a growing industrial sector. In March 2026, Oman appointed a non-resident Ambassador to Uganda.
- 01
Food security
Oman relies on imports for fresh fruit and vegetables: Uganda's primary export strength.
- 02
The digital economy
A priority of Oman's plan: the tech infrastructure that trade now runs on.
By leveraging Oman's strategic maritime links at Salalah, Sohar and Duqm, and Uganda's rich agricultural potential, we are creating a seamless corridor for trade, innovation and sustainable growth.
