Agriculture sector reels under products’ price hike — farmers union

AMMAN — Farmers are facing major price hikes for all the requirements of agricultural production such as seeds, fertilisers, treatments and plastic, which exacerbates the challenges they were already facing, according to the Jordan Valley Farmers Union.

The farmers union said the prices of these supplies increased between 50 and 200 per cent in less than two months.

Adnan Khaddam, president of the Jordan Valley Farmers Union, said that the price hike is “unjustified”.
