45% of meat supplied locally
The head of the Livestock Breeders Association, Zaal Al-Kuwait, confirmed that Jordan is currently fulfilling approximately 45% of its meat needs domestically, relying on imports from more than 21 countries. Last year, only sheep offspring were exported—excluding females, which have been prohibited from export since last year due to the losses caused by slaughtering females. He pointed out that rising costs, especially during years of drought and their impact on livestock numbers, have forced some breeders to sell females that are not suitable for breeding. At the same time, there is an increasing demand to grow herd sizes. He called for supporting the livestock sector and relying on an integrated agricultural policy to achieve self-sufficiency, emphasizing that the challenges facing the sector require time, effort, and more government support—particularly amid rising costs of feed, diesel, transportation, and medicines.
