ILO highlights 3 key sectors for Jordan's growth
The International Labour Organization's report focused on three economic sectors in Jordan characterized by strong potential for growth and inclusive job creation: the food industries, food services, and chemical industries. The report highlighted that the food industries sector has significant export capacity and can provide employment for both local and Syrian workers, despite challenges related to dependence on imported materials and difficulties accessing high-value markets. The food services sector is among the most labor-intensive, especially for women and self-employed workers, despite intense competition and high commissions. As for the chemical industries, they serve as a vital export pillar, accounting for about 5.2% of the Gross Domestic Product, with opportunities for product diversification and increased added value through quality improvements and export promotion. The report recommended reducing production costs, expanding markets, enhancing export capabilities, and improving the working environment to support comprehensive and flexible growth in these sectors.
