Experts identify Algeria as answer to Jordan’s unmet wheat, barley demand
AMMAN — A recent decision by the Jordanian government to cooperate with Algeria to plant wheat and barley in the north African country for consumption in the Kingdom is a step in the right direction, according to experts.
According to a statement by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply on Sunday, the step would enable Jordan to meet some of its needs for the two commodities.
Jordan imports about 95 per cent of its wheat and barley needs from international markets to meet local demand, as production does not exceed 5 per cent of the needs.
