Tomato surplus prompts system review
The Assistant Undersecretary for Plant Wealth at the Ministry of Agriculture pointed out that the increase in tomato production to around one thousand tons per day in Jordan is creating an excess of between 500 and 800 tons, while the local market needs between 450 and 500 tons daily. This surplus necessitates developing a food industry to convert the harvest into value-added products, relying on food manufacturing and extending the marketing shelf life of the produce to better utilize the production. He also emphasized the importance of aligning production decisions with market and export needs, and strengthening the role of agricultural processing to ensure market stability and reduce dependence on imports. Additionally, he highlighted the need to establish an integrated system that begins before planting, including identifying target markets.
