Pomegranate yield system
A study prepared by agricultural engineer Mohammad Abdullah Al-Tawalbeh called for developing an integrated system for Jordan’s pomegranate sector, focused on boosting productivity and the efficient use of irrigation water, and improving varieties, agricultural services, marketing and processing—rather than simply expanding the area under cultivation. The study noted that cultivated area increased by 37.1% between 2017 and 2025, reaching 10,809.4 dunums, while the number of trees rose by 40.8% to 528,697. However, production fell by 6.4% in 2025, to 18,304.8 tonnes. It recommended strengthening agricultural extension services; improving the quality of seedlings, fertilization and integrated pest management; and testing smart irrigation. It also called for processing fruit unsuitable for fresh sale into products such as juice, pomegranate molasses, vinegar and jam.
