Areej Vegetable Oil & Derivativatives Saog

Areej Vegetable Oils & Derivatives SAOG was established in 1980 with a majority shareholding of the OMZEST group. It has a modern hygienic plant and manufactures and markets top quality cooking oils, ghee, margarines, speciality fats and butter products.

The Company leading brands MINARA, SOHAR, JABAL AKHDAR, HAFLA and MUSCAT MARGARINE are trusted names in every Omani home. Areej Vegetable Oils enjoys a 65% market share in Oman and won the Exporter of the Year Award in 1998 with exports comprising 55% of the total business.

The Company has a track record in innovations, for e.g., the bag-in-carton cooking oil was an instant success in Oman and UAE. SOHAR was the first blended oil in the GCC to suit Omani frying habits. MINARA was the first cooking oil in an absolutely clear bottle to enter the GCC market.

Areej Vegetable Oils has now shifted its focus from the traditional cooking oils and ghee business to new areas such as, butter products, dairy blends, margarines and speciality shortenings.

Multinationals like NABISCO, UNILEVER, EMBORG source their requirements for the Gulf from Areej Vegetable Oils, a sound testimony to the high quality standards that have earned the Company the level of success it enjoys today.
