MUSCAT — Spearheaded by the Public Authority for Investment Promotion and Export Development (PAIPED), eight Omani companies showcased the Sultanate’s building and construction capabilities at BuildInt Tanzania 2013 from February 22 – 24, 2013 in Dar Es Salaam. With non-oil exports to Tanzania reaching more than $20 million in 2011, Oman’s debut at the annual international tradeshow provided a platform for national products to open new avenues for trade with East and Central Africa.
Nasima al Balushi, Director-General of Export Development at PAIPED, said, “The building and construction industry is key to our export development strategy. This is in perfect synergy with the current direction in the Tanzanian economy as construction remains one of the fastest growing sectors in the country contributing approximately 12 per cent of GDP. Therefore, we sought the opportunity to utilise the close ties enjoyed by our countries to showcase the competitive advantage Omani products have to become strategic partners with private and public sector organisations in Tanzania.”
Yahya bin Mosa al Bakri, the Omani Ambassador to Tanzania, was in attendance during the opening of the exhibition and met representatives from the participating Omani companies while on his tour of the Sultanate’s wing. Al Bakri applauded the diverse range of national products available and urged national companies to utilise the opportunities offered through the exhibition to secure a market share within the Tanzanian economy.
Marco Makanyaga, a visitor of the exhibition said, “Tanzania has identified the tourism industry as a key driver for future growth which in-turn requires significant investment in the country infrastructure. This represents a huge opportunity to supply raw materials, machinery and expertise, and create long-term trade partnerships. International trade shows such as BuildInt Tanzania 2013 are an ideal stage to meet potential customers and partners.”
Vincent Avier Kazimoto, a Tanzanian Businessman, highlighted, “The construction industry is booming in East and Central Africa with huge governmental support and new opportunities are becoming available all the time. Oman has strong ties with Tanzania and is in a prime position to supply a wide range of goods and services to the country.”
