Jordan unaffected by Russian rice export ban — JCC
AMMAN — Russia's recent decision to ban rice and rice grits exports until the end of 2023 will not impact Jordan, as it has a limited dependency on Russian rice imports, Jamal Amro, representative of the food sector at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC), said on Saturday.
"Jordan's rice imports from the Russian market are relatively modest," Amro said. "This was the case even before the export ban came into effect in mid-2022."
Jordan imported 4,000 tonnes of rice from Russia in 2020, 11,000 tonnes in 2021 and 8,000 tonnes by mid-2022, he added.
