Following His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said's order to review Oman's opportunities in protection of its globally significant genetic resources, the Oman Animal and Plant Genetic Resources Center (OAPGRC) was established by The Research Council in 2012. Oman Animal and Plant Genetic Resources Center is a collaborative organization for advancing the sustainable use of animal and plant genetic resources through education, research and innovation. Our aim is to create value for society from genetic resources.
