Jordan Boosts Food Self-Sufficiency
Jordan experienced an improvement in food security indicators during 2024, with the self-sufficiency rate for food items rising to 61.4% compared to 57.3% in 2020, marking a 4.1 percentage point increase over four years. Certain products, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, saw significant surpluses in production, with self-sufficiency ratios reaching 485% for cantaloupe and 271% for apricots, while olives maintained full self-sufficiency at 100%. Despite these enhancements, many essential commodities still rely on imports, especially grains, sugar, and oils, with wheat self-sufficiency only at 2.9%. However, the overall food production increased by 11.4%, and efforts to reduce waste have contributed to boosting the agricultural sector's productivity.
