SPAR Oman has recently added 78 Sri Lankan SKUs to the assortment of 24 of its neighbourhood stores in the capital, Muscat. Since COVID-19 regulations have curtailed travel opportunities, SPAR customers in Oman, comprising local and international residents, have welcomed the expanded international range.

Over the past years, SPAR Oman has regularly purchased fresh fruit and vegetables from Sri Lanka, which have proven popular among shoppers. Based on this success, the company decided to expand the range with more processed groceries. 

An invitation to participate in a business conference hosted by His Excellency Omar Lebbe Ameer Ajwad, the Honourable Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Oman, presented an opportunity to interact with Sri Lankan companies. This event fostered closer collaboration between SPAR Oman and the SPAR operator in Sri Lanka, Ceylon Biscuits Limited, resulting in SPAR Oman placing a product order worth US$10,000. 

The launch was celebrated at an event at SPAR Madinat Qaboos, hosted by the Honourable Ambassador and SPAR Oman CEO Sridhar Moosapeta on 11 May. After just fifteen days, three-quarters of the goods have been sold, highlighting the demand and success of this initiative.
