United Fisheries of Kuwait Company (UFK) is a leader in the marine product market (fishing, processing and trading). UFK established United Dana Fisheries Company to be its main distribution channel for its products, with a chain of high level branches and outlets covering most areas of the State of Kuwait, offering a wide assortment of fresh, frozen and canned marine products. Due to declining natural fishing stock in the Arabian Gulf waters and the existence of bountiful fishes in the Arabian Sea in the Sultanate of Oman, Danah Bahar Al Arab Fisheries Company was established to carry out fishing activities in Oman in order to compensate the severe shortage of the required quantities of marine products for local consumption and exporting surplus stock, thereby diversifying the sources of income and increasing profits. :
