Fruit, vegetable exports increase 6-7% in first 9 months of 2022
AMMAN — Exports of vegetables and fruits increased between six and seven per cent during the first nine months of 2022. A total of 360 tonnes were exported, compared with the same period of last year, Secretary General of Ministry of Agriculture Mohammed Hiyari said on Sunday.
Jordan has the ability to produce large quantities of vegetables and fruits, if access to foreign markets has been made available, Hiyari told Al Mamlaka TV.
He added that the launch of a Jordanian-Palestinian partnership to market agricultural products has shown "positive" indicators, as the first cargo flight of the Jordanian-Palestinian Agricultural Marketing Company left Queen Alia International Airport for Qatar on Sunday.
