Al-Jaitan Reports Jordan's Food Production Surpasses Demand
The Vice President of the Jordan Chamber of Industry pointed out that the food manufacturing sector achieves full self-sufficiency in many products, including cheese, meats, poultry, and table eggs, with some products exceeding local demand and providing surplus for export. It is also estimated that the food industry currently covers between 62% and 65% of the local market needs, with certain products reaching coverage levels of 100% or more. This supports food security and reduces dependence on imports. However, the sector's exports face challenges, notably the lack of a food traceability system, which is essential for opening new markets, especially in light of agreements with the European Union and the United States. Additionally, rising energy and transportation costs pose difficulties. Efforts are underway to complete the traceability system and improve procedures to enhance export capabilities. A food innovation center is also being established to support and develop unconventional products, thereby boosting the competitiveness of the Jordanian market.
