Jordan’s Food Security and Meat Self-Sufficiency
The article summarizes the challenges faced by the livestock sector in Jordan in its goal to achieve self-sufficiency in meat. It explains that local production currently covers about 45% of the country's needs, with the remaining percentage imported from more than 21 countries around the world. Export regulations are currently in place, including the ban on exporting ewe sheep, to ensure herd growth and increase birth rates, despite challenges such as rising production costs and the impact of drought seasons. The article emphasizes that supporting the sector requires comprehensive agricultural policies that include improving veterinary services and pastures, taking into account current climatic and economic conditions that have led to higher costs. It also confirms that achieving self-sufficiency is a long-term process that demands joint efforts from both the public and private sectors.
