Agriculture addresses lemon crisis and plans apple, lemon import ban
The Jordanian Ministry of Agriculture announces a decision to halt the entry of new quantities of imported lemons into central markets starting from August 25, 2026. This measure aims to protect the local produce and ensure the marketing of national crops of lemons and apples. The date has been set in response to the significant increase in imported lemon quantities previously imported, with current stock reaching 518 tons in refrigerated storage. The existing quantities are considered sufficient to cover market needs. The decision follows requests from the Jordan Valley Citrus Association to regulate the market and prevent excess imports during the peak of local production, emphasizing that no additional imports will be permitted after the specified date. Otherwise, legal actions will be taken. The information regarding the volume of imported shipments has been clarified to ensure it does not exceed what has actually been imported.
