Jordan's food self-sufficiency reaches 61.4%
The results of the 2024 Food Budget Bulletin showed an increase in Jordan's food self-sufficiency rate to 61.4%, up from 57.3% in 2020. This improvement was supported by increased local production, resulting in surpluses of certain agricultural crops such as vegetables and fruits. Despite this progress, many basic goods still rely heavily on imports, especially grains, sugar, and vegetable oils, maintaining a clear food gap. Data indicate that some agricultural products have achieved surpluses suitable for export, while others remain heavily dependent on imports. Nonetheless, efforts to reduce food waste and develop the agricultural sector remain essential to strengthening food security in Jordan.
