Agricultural exports rise 14% in H1
The agricultural sector in Jordan experienced significant growth during the first half of 2026, with agricultural exports increasing by 14% compared to the same period last year. There was a substantial rise in the export of vegetables, fruits, and animal products. Specifically, potato exports soared by 200%, and watermelon exports by 285%. The livestock sector also saw an increase, with breeding egg exports up by 160% and table egg exports rising by 71%. Despite this growth, exports of live sheep declined by 68.3% due to regulatory measures. The Ministry emphasized that this growth did not affect the stability of local market prices, which actually decreased for vegetables, meats, and poultry—reflecting successful policies aimed at balancing export opportunities with internal market stability. Additionally, the agricultural gross domestic product rose by 6.7%, reaching 608 million Jordanian dinars.
