Agriculture & Fishing

Overview

Agriculture and fisheries continue to thrive with strong government support. We help organisations navigate the unique financial, regulatory, and compliance challenges associated with these sectors with confidence and clarity.

The agricultural sector holds significant potential for development, supported by variations in the country’s geography and climate. Crop cultivation primarily includes dates and limes, alongside tropical produce such as coconuts, papayas, bananas, and a wide variety of other fruits and vegetables. Government-led research and development centres have been established across the country to promote agricultural mechanisation, modern farming techniques, and the introduction of new crops.

A coastline extending over 3,165 kilometres presents substantial opportunities for large-scale fishing operations. The fisheries sector is a major contributor to non-oil and non-gas income and is widely regarded as having even greater growth potential, with fishing waters considered among the richest globally.

Fisheries have long been one of the country’s key natural resources. The industry continues to expand, supported by government initiatives aimed at strengthening export markets, developing fish farms, enhancing marine facilities, and investing in cold storage infrastructure.

We recognise that revenues and expenses within these sectors are highly seasonal, cash flow fluctuates throughout the year, and certain inventories are highly perishable. Our experts also understand that agriculture and fishing businesses are influenced by global trade developments, as well as legal and accounting considerations related to family succession, tax regulations, and financial auditing requirements. Experienced accounting guidance is essential to managing financial risk and unlocking growth opportunities for small family farms, large agricultural enterprises, and processing facilities.
