Omani government establishes body for minerals marketing and export

08 July 2025

Oman: The Omani government has granted a mandate to Minerals Development Oman subsidiary Oman Minerals Trading Company to manage marketing and export of the country’s gypsum and chrome ore. The mandate imposes new rules that require the Omani gypsum trade to prioritise the local market over exports. A new supplier and buyer registration programme will launch in mid-late 2025, in advance of full implementation of the new system in May 2026.

Minerals Development Oman CEO Mattar Salim Al Badi said "We deeply value the Ministry of Energy and Minerals' trust in tasking the Oman Minerals Trading Company with organising and exporting gypsum and chrome ores. This authorisation marks a strategic milestone, poised to boost supply chain efficiency, unify marketing efforts and ensure transparent, fair pricing."

Oman produced 14Mt of gypsum across 15 licensed mines in 2024.

India-Oman trade agreement stalls over Omani labour laws

22 May 2025

India: The anticipated India-Oman comprehensive economic partnership agreement remains close to signing, BusinessLine Online News has reported. Nonetheless, ‘one issue’ reportedly still requires ‘ironing out.’ This is the Indian government’s rejection of Oman's Omanisation policy, which is continually increasing the proportion of Omani nationals required to be employed in the country’s industries. The Indian government has asked for a freeze to the requirements, which works to the exclusion of the Indian expat community in Oman, it says.

Bilateral trade between India and Oman was worth US$8.9bn in 2024. Gypsum is among the key Indian imports from Oman.

US Gypsum production rises steadily in 2024

US: Gypsum producers mined 22Mt of natural gypsum in 2024, according to the figures published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Production rose by 2% year-on-year from 21.5Mt in 2023. The USGS listed California, Iowa and Kansas as the top producers among 15 gypsum-mining states in the US in 2024. 45 different mines contributed to the total. Major domestic applications for the gypsum included use as raw materials in the country’s 3.16Bnm2/yr-capacity gypsum wallboard industry. The sector sold an estimated 2.6Bnm2 of wallboard throughout the year, up by 4% year-on-year.

The US exported 45,000t of natural gypsum during 2024, up by 2% from 44,000t in 2024. Its imports declined year-on-year, meanwhile, by 4%, from 7.77Mt to 7.4Mt – 17% of a total domestic consumption of 44Mt.

Gypsum Resources Australia joins lobbying to protect Glebe Island port

26 February 2025

Australia: Gypsum supplier Gypsum Resources Australia has joined 24 other organisations in calling on the state government of New South Wales to reconsider a planned relocation of Sydney Harbour’s last working port from Glebe Island in Sydney Harbour to the city of Newcastle, 150km away. The company said that such a move might have ‘severe’ economic repercussions due to increased freight costs and supply chain delays for the Sydney market.

Gypsum Resources Australia General Manager Alistair Kelsh said “We need clarity and certainty for the future, so that we can continue to support Sydney’s construction needs. Shifting Glebe Island port facilities will not just see building projects cost more for consumers and the government, but lead to thousands of extra truck movements on Sydney’s roads.”
