Study on banning olive oil embedding after 5,000 bottles seized in Irbid
The Jordanian government authorities are considering banning the "embedded" (tied) ownership of olive oil presses and requiring their owners to operate the presses directly. This measure aims to enhance oversight, protect the quality of olive oil, and prevent fraud and manipulation within the sector. This move comes after the seizure of 5,000 bottles of oil in Irbid, where it was discovered that a trader had leased a press through an "embedded" arrangement to process imported oil mixed with local oil and market it as Jordanian-produced. As a result, the press was shut down, and investigations were launched. The initiative seeks to strengthen regulation of the industry, ensure presses adhere to specifications, and prevent license exploitation for fraudulent activities.
